Total Lipids Estimation and Fatty Acids Analysis of Bothriocephalus Acheilognathi, a Parasitic Tapeworm of the Common Carp Cyprinus Carpio (L., 1758) From Tigris River-Mosul City

Abstract

In the presence study, concentration of total lipids in the intestinal and Stearic (C18:0)) and three were unsaturated fatty acids (Oliec (C:18:1), linoliec (C18:2) and linolenic (c18:3)) in addition to tow unidentified fatty acids. The most dominant fatty acid was the unsaturated linoliec acid (28.3% of the total fatty acids).

Isolation and Diagnosis of the Myxozoa Parasitizing in some Fish Species in Tigris River at Salah Al-Din Governorate, Iraq

“…This species was recorded for the first time in Iraq from Silrus glanis from Tigris River at Mosul province (21). Then it was reported from other six fish species in Iraq, C. regium was not involved from them .…”

Biomarkering metabolic activities of the tapeworm Khawia armeniaca (Cholodkovsky, 1915) in association to its fish host Barbus grypus (Hekle, 1843)

“…She correlated between the low concentration of lipids and the disability of these helminthes to split lipids they have been gotten from host as they grow up; besides, they are dependents highly on carbohydrate catabolism to get energy demands. Al-Niaeem and Dawood (10) stated that concentration of total lipids in the intestinal tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi was higher than that found in the intestinal tissues of the infected host, Cyprinus carpio fish. And that lipid concentration in the uninfected fish was higher than that in the infected fish.…”

“…and Postgangesia inarmata were higher than that in their hosts Gallus gallus domesticus, Clarias batrachus and Silurus triostegus (fish) respectively. Furthermore, tapeworms have no De novo pathway for fatty acids metabolism, and thus absorb fatty acids from host intestine in a relatively high amounts (10). This may explain the low concentration of lipids in the intestine of the invaded fish.…”

“…They have important role in life maintenance in the cell (4). Some researchers were concern with studying metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, lipid and related enzymes in fish cestodes like Aisien and Ogiji those studied lipid metabolism in the tapeworm Oochoristica agamae (5), Malagón et al those studied carbohydrate metabolism in the fish tapeworm Hysterothylacium aduncum (6), Al-Naftachi that studied protein, carbohydrate and lipids metabolism in snake, bird and fresh water fish tapeworms (7), Waghmare and Chavan those studied carbohydrate metabolites in cestode parasites of Gallus gallus domesticus (8), Dawood et al those studied energy metabolism in the house frog cestode Ophiotaenia bofonis and the domestic pigeon tapeworm Cotugnea columbae (9), Al-Niaeemi and Dawood those studied lipids and fatty acids metabolism of Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, tapeworm of the common carp (10) and Al-Niaeemi et al those studied proteins and carbohydrates metabolism in the tapeworm Postgangesia armata that infect Siluris glanis fish (11).…”

The synthesis of lipids and proteins in vitro in tissues of Cyprinus carpio infected with Bothriocephalus acheilognathi

“…Lipids play an important role in the body's response to exogenous and endogenous factors, due to their role in the energy and signal systems of the cell (Hrytsyniak et al, 2010). Lipids are important components that are involved in the building of cell membranes, nuclei and mitochondria and they play a major role in the functioning and course of various processes in cells (Deb, 2011;Al-Niaeemi & Dawood, 2017).…”
