“…The zebrafish (also known as zebra danio) Danio rerio is an oviparous cyprinid common in household aquaria (Overstreet et al 2000). The use of zebrafish as a laboratory animal is well established in developmental biology, genetic research, and carcinogenicity testing and has been gaining popularity for basic immunology research (Trede et al 2004).…”

Evaluation of Zebrafish Danio rerio as a Model for Enteric Septicemia of Catfish (ESC)

et al. 2007

Zebrafish (also known as zebra danio) Danio rerio were injected intramuscularly with Edwardsiella ictaluri at doses of 6 x 10(3), 6 x 10(4), or 6 x 10(5) colony-forming units per gram (CFU/g) or sterile phosphate-buffered saline (sham) or were not injected. Mortality occurred from 2 to 5 d postinjection (dpi) at rates of 0, 76.6, and 81.3% for the low, medium, and high doses, respectively, and E. ictaluri was isolated from dead fish. Survivors were sampled at 10 dpi and E. ictaluri was not isolated. Sham-injected and noninjected controls did not suffer mortality. Histopathology trials were performed in which zebrafish were injected with 1 x 10(4) CFU/g or sham-injected and sampled at 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h postinjection for histological interpretation. Collectively, these zebrafish demonstrated increasing severity of splenic, hepatic, cardiac, and renal interstitial necrosis over time. To evaluate the progression of chronic infection, zebrafish were injected with 1 x 10(2) CFU/g and held for 1 month postinjection. Beginning at 12 dpi and continuing for an additional 2 weeks, zebrafish demonstrated abnormal spiraling and circling swimming behaviors. Histopathology demonstrated necrotizing encephalitis. In immersion trials, zebrafish were exposed to low, medium, and high doses (averaging 1.16 x 10(5), 1.16 x 10(6), and 1.16 x 10(7) CFU/mL of tank water) of E. ictaluri for 2 h. Mortality occurred from 5 to 9 d postexposure at rates of 0, 3.3, and 13.3% for the low, medium, and high doses, respectively; E. ictaluri was isolated from dead fish. Channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus exposed to the medium doses suffered 100% mortality, and E. ictaluri was isolated from these fish. This study demonstrates the potential use of zebrafish as a model for E. ictaluri pathogenesis.

“…There is a tendency, at least in some strains, for male offspring to significantly outnumber females unless inbreeding is eliminated by continually introducing a few individuals from other sources into the fish breeding stock (Overstreet et al 2000).…”

“…Such factors include diet, lighting, water salinity, water flow, frequency of cleaning, tank size, type of hormonal stimulation, frequency of egg collection, and age of females. Hygiene is especially important as zebrafish eggs are highly susceptible to fungal infections (Overstreet et al 2000).…”
