“…Adults inhabit the oral cavity and oesophagus of vertebrates, mainly birds, which ingest second intermediate hosts. Humans are occasionally infected after eating undercooked fish, leading to halzoun syndrome (reviewed by Sutili et al 2014; see also Table 1). Few morphological characters differ reliably among species of Clinostomum (Ukoli 1966;Yamaguti 1971;Feizullaev & Mirzoeva 1983), and there is also no reliable way to distinguish species based on host species, because host associations of all developmental stages are broad or poorly known (Lo et al 1982;Matthews & Cribb 1998;Hoffman 1999;Bullard & Overstreet 2008).…”

Members of the genus Clinostomum Leidy, 1856 are parasites that mature in birds, with occasional reports in humans. Because morphological characters for reliable discrimination of species are lacking, the number of species considered valid has varied by an order of magnitude. In this study, sequences from the DNA barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I (CO1) and/or internal transcribed spacer (ITS) from specimens from Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Kenya, China and Thailand were analysed together with published sequences from Europe, Africa, Indonesia and North America. Although ITS and CO1 distances among specimens were strongly correlated, distance‐based analysis of each marker yielded different groups. Putative species indicated by CO1 distances were consistent with available morphological identifications, while those indicated by ITS conflicted with morphological identifications in three cases. There was little overlap in sequence variation within and between species, particularly for CO1. Although ITS and CO1 distances tended to increase in specimens that were further apart geographically, this did not impair distance‐based species delineation. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a deep division between clades of Clinostomum inhabiting the New World and Old World, which parallels the distribution of their principal definitive hosts, the Ardeidae.

“…Again, we found no lesions or alterations in internal organs or muscle tissue. Massive infection in fish generally causes weight loss, atrophy due to the mechanical effects of the metacercariae on the surrounding tissue, fish mortality, as well as unmarketability of the infected specimens [2,31,32].…”

Clinostomum complanatum, a digenean trematode of the Clinostomidae family, is a fish-borne zoonotic parasite responsible for Halzoun syndrome in humans and is transmitted through the consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. Of the total of 112 specimens of European perch (Perca fluviatilis) sampled from a subalpine lake (Lake Endine) in North Italy in 2019, 21 (18.75%) tested positive for encysted metacercariae in the fillet. This study reports the first isolation of C. complanatum in P. fluviatilis and highlights the possible zoonotic risk for consumers, since P. fluviatilis is a food fish used in the traditional local cuisine.

“…Another important larval trematode in tilapia farming is Clinostomum complanatum . This species is present in fish as metacercariae, using them as a second intermediate host (Thatcher, 1981, Eiras et al , 1999; Sutili et al , 2014). The presence of this trematode has been described by several authors in different parts of the world and in different host species (Salgado-Maldonado, 2006), demonstrating that it is a cosmopolitan parasite.…”

Helminth parasites of finfish commercial aquaculture in Latin America

2016

Latin America has tripled production by aquaculture up to 78 million tonnes in the past 20 years. However, one of the problems that aquaculture is facing is the presence of helminth parasites and the diseases caused by them in the region. In this review we have collected all the available information on helminths affecting commercial aquaculture in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), emphasizing those causing serious economic losses. Monogeneans are by far the most common and aggressive parasites affecting farmed fish in LAC. They have been recognized as serious pathogens in intensive fish culture because they reach high levels of infection rapidly, and can infect other phylogenetically related fish species. The next most important group comprises the larval stages of digeneans (metacercariae) such as Diplostomum sp. and Centrocestus formosanus, which cause serious damage to farmed fish. Since LAC aquaculture has been based mainly on exotic species (tilapia, salmon, trout and carp), most of their parasites have been brought into the region together with the fish for aquaculture. Recently, one of us (A.I.P.-T.) has suggested that monogeneans, which have generally been considered to be harmless, can produce serious effects on the growth of cultured Nile tilapia. Therefore, the introduction of fish together with their 'harmless' parasites into new sites, regions or countries in LAC should be considered a breakdown of biosecurity in those countries involved. Therefore, the application of quarantine procedures and preventive therapeutic treatments should be considered before allowing these introductions into a country.
