“…Neobenedenia girellae is widespread geographically and able to infest many different host fishes, including species that support commercial fisheries, aquaculture and the ornamental trade. 22 Monogeneans that live on the skin can cause mechanical damage to fish epidermis and can lead to secondary infection, [23][24][25][26] while high gill monogenean burdens cause host anaemia. 27 Monogeneans are commonly treated using hydrogen peroxide baths (75-100 ppm for up to 1 h) to kill parasites attached to fish.…”

A decision support tool was developed to aid management of problematic parasites in marine fish aquaculture. The tool provides biologically relevant treatment intervals to interrupt the life cycle of ectoparasitic flatworms that occur in global kingfish and amberjack (Seriola spp.) aquaculture. Temperature‐dependent life cycle parameters for the ‘skin flukes’, Benedenia seriolae and Neobenedenia girellae, and the ‘gill fluke’, Zeuxapta seriolae, were derived from published data and modelled using non‐linear regressions. Increasing temperatures shortened the duration of most life cycle parameters of all parasites. Salinity had no effect on the timing of life cycle parameters but limited hatching success in hypo‐ and hypersaline conditions. The tool, named BeNeZe after the first two letters of each parasite genera, enables rapid determination of treatment intervals for two consecutive medicinal immersion or ‘bathing’ treatments—the first to kill adult flatworms attached to fish and the second to prevent maturity of new parasite recruits. As temperature increases, the interval between treatments and the ‘window’ within which the second treatment should be applied is reduced. The tool can be used for multi‐species infections. The inclusion of parasite taxonomy, biology and behaviour as part of an integrated management strategy is reviewed. Available through an open access app, BeNeZe is intended to be applied in conjunction with farm biosecurity, surveillance, management measures and recognition of independent management units. BeNeZe can be used to reduce infection burdens, improve fish welfare and production and reduce treatment number and frequency.

Nitazoxanide, Ivermectin, and Artemether effects against cryptosporidiosis in diabetic mice: parasitological, histopathological, and chemical studies

et al. 2022

Human cryptosporidiosis is one of the most significant causes of water borne epidemics of diarrhea worldwide. It is extremely important in immunocompromised hosts and malnourished children as it could cause severe life-threatening diarrhea. Despite the global burden of the disease, there are only few available therapies against cryptosporidiosis. Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder that impair both the innate and adaptive immune responses of the patient. This study aimed to test the effect of Nitazoxanide, Ivermectin, and Artemether against cryptosporidiosis in diabetic mice. Sixty white albino mice were categorized into 6 groups; 10 mice each: GI: normal non-infected non-treated (healthy- control), GII-GVI (diabetic groups), GII: non-infected non treated (diabetic control), GIII: infected non treated (infected control), GIV: infected and treated with Nitazoxanide (NTZ), GV: infected and treated with Ivermectin (IVC), GVI: infected and treated with Artemether (ART). Parasitological, histopathological, and chemical examinations were done to evaluate the effect of NTZ, IVC, and ART against cryptosporidiosis in diabetic mice. Parasitological examination revealed maximum reduction of oocyst shedding in GVI, while histopathological examination showed the least pathologic changes in GV with mild vascular wall fibrosis and moderate lymphocytic infiltration of islets of Langerhans. Measurement of blood glucose level showed the best results with GIV. Nitazoxanide is effective against cryptosporidiosis in diabetic patients with minimal hyperglycemia, Artemether is especially effective in reducing the oocyst shedding in stool, whereas Ivermectin is associated with the least pathological changes in pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry in veterinary medicine: Recent advances (2019–present)

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has become a valuable laboratory tool for rapid diagnostics, research, and exploration in veterinary medicine. While instrument acquisition costs are high for the technology, cost per sample is very low, the method requires minimal sample preparation, and analysis is easily conducted by end-users requiring minimal training. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight MS has found widespread application for the rapid identification of microorganisms, diagnosis of dermatophytes and parasites, protein/lipid profiling, molecular diagnostics, and the technique demonstrates significant promise for 2D chemical mapping of tissue sections collected postmortem. In this review, an overview of the MALDI-TOF technique will be reported and manuscripts outlining current uses of the technology for veterinary science since 2019 will be summarized. The article concludes by discussing gaps in knowledge and areas of future growth.
