| pathological study on the scuticociliatosis affecting farmed japanese flounder (paralichthys olivaceus) in japan. | pathological findings associated with scuticociliatosis in farmed japanese flounder in japan are described. ten moribund fishes, farmed in tottori prefectural fisheries experimental station, showed cutaneous ulcers, darkened skin, fin and tail rot, exophthalmia and alterations in swimming behaviour. histopathologically, severe epidermal degeneration and necrosis, hyperplasia of branchial epithelium, myositis, myelitis, encephalitis associated with heavy accumulation of scuticociliates in the per ... | 2010 | 20460839 |
| [bacterial infections, what we can learn from each outbreak]. | studies on outbreaks or incidences of infectious diseases and food poisonings are the starting points in research. analyses of the outbreaks will provide the mechanism by which the illnesses occur and the establishment of countermeasure. we report here some sensational outbreaks which recently occurred in japan: 1) enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli (ehec) o157 outbreaks by pickled chinese cabbage in hokkaido, 2) ehec o157/o111 outbreaks by raw beef in toyama prefecture, 3) parasitic food poison ... | 2014 | 24681992 |
| new host records of monacanthid fish for three kudoa spp. (k. septempunctata, k. thyrsites, and k. shiomitsui) prevalent in the olive flounder (paralichthys olivaceus), with the description of k. parathyrsites n. sp. from a black scraper (thamnaconus modestus). | kudoa septempunctata (myxosporean: multivalvulida) is known as a cause of foodborne disease associated with consumption of raw flesh of the olive flounder (paralichthys olivaceus). knowledge of its life cycle, particularly alternate annelid hosts and reservoirs or susceptible fish hosts in natural waters, may facilitate disease control in aquaculture farms. our recent survey of myxosporean infection in monacanthid fish in natural waters around japan revealed infection with three kudoid species p ... | 2016 | 27026502 |
