| Summary: | The groups of nemathodes who infect fish has been studyied since it has been
noticed that these parasites infect a large variety of organisms, being widespread
all over the world, in both freshwater and marine species. The aim of this study
was to investigate the infections with Eustrongylides sp. in perch, pike, pikeperch,
sheat fish, and sun perch, fished into the natural Romanian's lakes, around the
Danubian Delta. Our study started on October 2005 and ended on March 2008.
The fish have been clinically, pathologically and parasitologically examinated.
Following these exams, we have identified the Eustrongylides sp. larvae in
muscles, cavity of body and gut in perch, sheat fish and pike; in liver, mesentery
and body cavity in pikeperch; into the cavity of body in sun perch. We have also
noticed unspecific lesions in these structures, pointing out the presence of
circulatory disturbances (congestion and hemorrhage). In perch we have observed
the multiparasiting phenomenon, in which Eustrongylides sp. has been found
associated with Myxobolus sp., Triaenophorus sp. and Piscicola sp. into the same
host. |
