This study was conducted to determine the effects of a high level of infection of the parasitic copepod L. salmonis on the stress response and immunological status of Atlantic salmon. An initial low-level initial infection was carried out 14d prior to a second infection in which twice as many parasites were introduced. Plasma cortisol and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) levels were monitored concurrent to the expression of six immune-related genes over five sample times (9, 21, 26, 33 and 40days post initial infection, dpii). The mean lice counts on the infected fish increased significantly from the first infection (16.3+/-1.89 at 9dpii) to the second (142.8+/-12.8 at 26dpii). Plasma cortisol levels increased significantly at 26, 33 and 40dpii in infected fish compared to controls. Plasma PGE(2) levels were significantly higher in infected fish at 9, 33 and 40dpii, when compared to controls. At 9dpii, expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha)-like cytokine, major histocompatibility class II (MH II), transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta)-like cytokine and cyclooxygenase-2 genes were increased in infected fish compared to controls. The expression of most of these genes returned to control levels at 21dpii when the highest expression of the MH class I gene was observed in infected fish (significantly higher than controls). Major histocompatibility class I gene expression remained higher in infected fish at 26 and 33dpii compared to controls and this was observed for the TNFalpha-like gene. By 33dpii, MH class II and TGFbeta-like genes had higher expression in infected fish compared to controls. Interleukin-1beta and TNFalpha-like gene were the only genes that showed significantly higher expression in infected fish compared to controls at 40dpii, while MH class I gene expression was significantly depressed in infected fish at this time. The expression of nearly all immune-related genes studied here increased following initial infection with L. salmonis, however, immunological stimulation did not reduce parasite numbers or protect against re-infection.  相似文献

Wild and cultured winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum) from Passamaquoddy Bay were surveyed for species of Gyrodactylus Nordmann, 1832. Two species were found: G. pleuronecti Cone, 1981 and G. aideni n. sp, both members of Malmberg’s ‘groenlandicus group’. Although the hard parts in the haptor are very similar in the two species, hamuli of G. aideni are consistently shorter than those of G. pleuronecti. The two species differed by 35 base pairs in the ITS 1, 5.8 and ITS 2 region. A BLAST search identified a variety of species of Gyrodactylus from marine fishes in the Atlantic Ocean as closest matches, indicating the ‘groenlandicus group’ is part of a major marine lineage within Gyrodactylus (sensu lato) that has successfully radiated among coastal percid, pleuronectid, cottid and anarhichadid fishes. Exposure experiments suggested that winter flounder is the primary host of both species of parasites and that three other pleuronectid species in the bay may potentially serve only as occasional transport hosts.  相似文献

Myxobolus bilobus n. sp. (Myxozoa) is described from golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Plasmodia develop at the distal end of gill filaments, where they form a novel-shaped plasmodium made up of 2 side-by-side hemispheres joined at a central pore. Surrounding gill tissue is vacuolated, necrotic, and hemorrhagic. Spores of M. bilobus n. sp. resemble those of M. aureatus Ward, 1919, M. angustus Kudo, 1934, M. spalli Landsberg & Lom, 1991, and M. pseudokoi Li & Desser, 1985 in parasitizing cyprinids and in their pyriform shape. Spores of M. bilobus n. sp., however, are much larger (20 to 22.1 microm long, 7.5 to 9.3 microm wide, and 6 microm thick) than those of these other species, and the plasmodium is bi-lobed rather than the typical hollow sphere. A phylogenetic analysis of the 18S rDNA (2014 bp) reveals that M. bilobus n. sp. is a member of a clade that includes 11 species of Myxobolus, all of which are parasites of cyprinid fishes in North America or Eurasia. The study concludes that M. bilobus n. sp. is a member of a clade that has undergone radiation within cyprinid fishes of the 2 continents and that this evolution has involved both host and site switching.  相似文献

Atlantic sturgeon are anadromous fish that spend much of their life in near-shore environments. They are designated as “threatened” by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and listed by the IUCN as “near threatened.” In Canada, Atlantic sturgeon support small commercial fisheries in the Saint John River, New Brunswick, and the St. Lawrence River, Quebec. While occupying the marine environment, the species is susceptible to various anthropogenic stressors, including by-catch in trawl fisheries and through interactions with coastal engineering projects such as tidal power development. Atlantic sturgeon are also susceptible to implantation of acoustic tags used by researchers to study their movement ecology. These stressors can cause physiological and behavioural changes in the fish that can negatively impact their viability. Because the species are commercially important, and are also of conservation concern, it is important to understand stress responses of Atlantic sturgeon to better mitigate the effects of increased industrial activity in the coastal zone. This study used proteomics to identify and characterize protease activity and identify putative novel protein biomarkers in the epidermal mucus of Atlantic sturgeon. Changes in protein profiles in Atlantic sturgeon epidermal mucus as a result of by-catch and surgery stress were investigated using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Proteolytic activity was identified and characterized using inhibition zymography, which provided information on the classes of proteases that are associated with stress. Samples were collected from Atlantic sturgeon on the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, Canada, after capture by brush weir and otter trawl, and after surgical implantation of a V16-69 kHz VEMCO acoustic tag. Significant proteins found in the epidermal mucus include various inflammatory proteins, with calmodulin and complement 9 found ubiquitously, and more rarely lysosome C, identified in a brush weir capture sample. Serum albumin, a blood plasma protein, was another ubiquitous protein and verifies how the sample collection method provides a picture of the internal systems. Protease activity was dominantly exhibited by matrix metalloproteases and serine proteases in all sample collections, with serine proteases more active in otter trawl captures than in brush weir captures. By identifying potential protein biomarkers of stress, this study is an example of a non-invasive method for measuring stress in Atlantic sturgeon. Understanding the defence mechanism and release of non-specific biomarkers can be used to improve conservation regulations, as well as to contribute to the limited scientific knowledge on the stress response of Atlantic sturgeon.  相似文献

This study examined changes in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar epidermal mucus proteins following short- and long-term handling stress. Short-term stress consisted of a single removal of fish from water for 15 s with long-term stress consisting of daily removal of fish from water for 15 s over 21 days. In the long-term handling stress study, there was a high level of individual variability with respect to mucus alkaline phosphatase, cathepsin B and lysozyme activities, with no correlation to treatment group. There was limited or no positive correlation between lysozyme, cathepsin B or alkaline phosphatase activities and plasma cortisol. There was a significant difference in lysozyme activity for both control and stressed fish at day 21 compared to other sampling days. In the short-term study, there was again high variability in mucus enzyme activities with no difference observed between groups. Immunoblotting also showed variability in mucus actin breakdown products in both short- and long-term handling stress studies. There appeared, however, to be a shift towards a more thorough breakdown of actin at day 14 in the stressed group. This shift suggested changes in mucus proteases in response to long-term handling stress. In summary, there were correlations of some mucus enzyme/protein profiles with stress or cortisol; however, the variability in S. salar mucus enzyme levels and actin fragmentation patterns suggested other triggers for inducing changes in mucus protein composition that need to be investigated further in order to better understand the role of mucus in the response of S. salar to external stressors.  相似文献

Jellett Rapid Testing Ltd. has developed a rapid field test kit to screen for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins. The new test provides a qualitative (positive/negative) indication of the presence of okadaic acid (OA) and some of its analogues in about 30 min. It is designed as a screening method for regulatory labs to eliminate negative samples, thereby leaving a smaller number of positive samples to be tested with more sophisticated and time-consuming quantitative methods. Due to its simplicity and speed, the Rapid Test for DSP may eventually be used in other applications such as shellfish harvest management and toxin research. The test is based on easy-to-use lateral flow immunochromatographic (LFI) test strips, which operate the same way as Jellett Rapid Testing's Rapid Tests for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins and amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) toxins. The sensitivity of the antibodies to some of the analogues of the DSP family of toxins was investigated using pure compounds from the National Research Council of Canada. In the Rapid Test format, okadaic acid, dinophysistoxin 1 (DTX1) and dinophysistoxin 2 (DTX2) were detected similarly with 50% reduction in test line color intensity at 5 nM for the solutions applied to test strips. One of the DTX-3 esters eliminated the test line at 500 nM, indicating low cross-reactivity, whereas no effect was observed with one of the brevetoxins (PbTx-3), yessotoxin, gymnodimine, spirolide and pectenotoxins PTX2, PTX11, at concentrations up to 1000 nM. In the ELISA format, the distinction between analogues was more apparent than on test strips. Mid-points were at 8 nM for okadaic acid, and 40 nM and 25 nM for DTX1 and DTX2, respectively.  相似文献

The complete mitogenome can provide valuable genetic information to reconstruct relationships between species. In this study, we sequenced a stone loach, Homatula laxiclathra (Teleostei: Nemacheilidae), which is found in the northern region of the Qinling Mountains in China. The size of the H. laxiclathra mitogenome is 16,570 bp, which contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes including 13 protein‐coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a control region (D‐loop) with a total AT content of 55.8%. This is similar to other Nemacheilidae sequences published in GenBank. Furthermore, a mito‐phylogenomic analysis of 46 Nemacheilidae species places H. laxiclathra in a robust monophyletic Homatula cluster with other Homatula species. Our results contribute toward a better understanding of a true phylogeny of these species based on large‐scale taxonomic samplings as well as to help grasp the evolution of fish mitogenomes.  相似文献

The mucus protein profile of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and changes due to infection with sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) were examined. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was performed on salmon skin mucus and comparisons between control and infected fish mucus were made. LC MS/MS identified intracellular proteins, calmodulin, actin, and hemopexin and plasma proteins, such as apolipoproteins, lectin, plasminogen and transferrin. Plasma proteins in the mucus may result from either direct expression by epidermal cells, leakage of plasma or via a secondary circulation system. Therefore, RT-PCR was used to measure mRNA of transferrin and lectin in Atlantic salmon skin. Transferrin expression was observed suggesting direct expression by the epidermis. Lectin expression was not detected suggesting another mechanism of entry into mucus, either leakage from plasma or secondary circulation. The lack of observable albumin on 2D gels, suggests that mucus lectin may arise from the secondary circulation route. Interestingly, β-actin was a significant component of Atlantic salmon mucus. Cleaved actin and transferrin fragments were observed and positively correlated with sea lice infection suggestive of proteolytic activity. Increased levels of cleaved transferrin during sea lice infection may activate the nitrous oxide response of salmon macrophages, as part of the fish's immune response to sea lice infection.  相似文献

The diagnosis of Kudoa funduli (Hahn, 1915) Meglitsch, 1948 (Myxozoa), is supplemented through study of new material collected from Fundulus heteroclitus (Cyprinodontidae) in coastal waters of Nova Scotia, Canada, and Connecticut. Plasmodia normally develop intracellularly in striated muscle of the flank and head, eventually rupturing and releasing spores. Spores disperse along adjacent epimysium, sometimes as far as the skin surface. Some plasmodia develop extracellularly within the bony cavities of vertebrae. Formalin-fixed spores viewed with a light microscope possess rounded edges, an inconspicuous apical region, thin sutural ridges, measure 6.6-7.4 microm wide, 4.3-5 microm thick, and 5.1-5.4 microm long, and have 4 equally sized polar capsules, 1.7-2.3 microm length by 1.4-1.7 microm width. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that spores are almost stellate, with inconspicuous uplifted tips, and that, within intracellular plasmodia, are embedded in an extensive honeycomb-like matrix. Prevalence of infection of K. funduli was 100% in host populations sampled in both Nova Scotia and Connecticut. Molecular sequence data of the 18S ribosomal DNA (737 base pairs) reveal that K. funduli is a valid species and a member of a clade that includes Kudoa dianae Dyková, Avila, and Fiala, 2002, Kudoa miniauriculata Whitaker, Kent, and Sakanari, 1996, and Kudoa paniformis Kabata and Whitaker, 1981.  相似文献
