Histopathology of black gill disease caused by Fusarium solani (Martius) infection in the Kuruma prawn, Penaeus japonicus Bate

Abstract: A histopathological description is given of the black gill disease in Kuruma prawn Penaeus japonicus. The inflammatory responses of P. japonieus against Fusarium solani are haemocytic infiltration, haemocytic encapsulation, melanization and collagen-like fihre deposition. These responses are more pronounced in lesions in the exoskeleton than in the gill lamellae.

“…In the present study, histopathological investigation depicted that the fungus A. awamori KM434331 produced a carcinogenic toxin which leads to black spot lesions on the gill and poses damage to the respiratory function of shrimp by haemocytic encapsulation and melanization finally leads to mortality. However, these pathological symptoms were almost similar to that of other reports for fungal diseases, the positive Lillie's Fe 2+ ion uptake reaction causes black spot lesions (Bian and Egusa, 1981).…”

“…Fungal infections similar to those by the present anamorphic fungi are known among penaeid shrimps in the gills; Fusarium solani and F. oxysporium infection of kuruma prawn Penaeus japonicus (Bian and Egusa, 1981; and F. incarnatum infection of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (Khoa et al, 2004). Besides, another anamorphic fungus Fusarium tabacinum (=Plectosporium tabacinum) caused gill disease in the crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes in England (Alderman and Polglase, 1985).…”

“…It is noted that 6 fungal isolates in this study were all affiliated to the genera Fusarium , based on sequence analysis of 18S rRNA genes. Some Fusarium species have been reported to associate with black gill disease in Kuruma prawn (Bian & Egusa 1981; Khoa, Hatai, & Aoki, 2004).…”
