transmission electron microscopic studies on the effects of toltrazuril on glugea anomala, moniez, 1887 (microsporidia) infecting the three-spined stickleback gasterosteus aculeatus.	a symmetric triazinone, toltrazuril, was tested in vivo against glugea anomala parasitizing the connective tissue of sticklebacks (gasterosteus aculeatus). naturally infected sticklebacks were incubated in toltrazuril-containing water as intermittent therapy (3 x 2 micrograms/ml for 6 h at 3-day intervals or 3 x 2 micrograms/ml for 24 h at 2-day intervals). as seen at the ultrastructural level, the drug caused severe damage to all developmental stages of g. anomala. when treatment was carried ou ...	1990	2251246
effects of an asymmetric triazine derivative, hoe 092 v, on glugea anomala, moniez, 1887 (microsporidia) parasitic in the three-spined stickleback gasterosteus aculeatus.	an asymmetric triazine derivative, hoe 092 v,2-[3,5-alpha-dichloro-4-(4-methyl-sulfonylphenoxy)-phenyl]- 1-methyl-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dion, was tested in vivo against glugea anomala parasitizing the connective tissue of sticklebacks (gasterosteus aculeatus). naturally infected sticklebacks were incubated in 10-1 plastic aquaria in water containing 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 micrograms hoe 092 v/ml for 2, 3, and 4 h at 22 degrees c. as seen at the ultrastructural level, the drug caused severe dam ...	1996	8801554
treatment of fish parasites. 11. effects of different benzimidazole derivatives (albendazole, mebendazole, fenbendazole) on glugea anomala, moniez, 1887 (microsporidia): ultrastructural aspects and efficacy studies.	three different benzimidazole derivatives, albendazole [methyl-5-(propylthio)-2-benzimidazolcarbamate], mebendazole (methyl-5-benzoyl-2-benzimidazolcarbamatic acid methyl ester), and fenbendazole [methyl-5-(phenylthio)-2-benzimidazolcarbamate] were tested in vivo against glugea anomala parasitizing the connective tissue of sticklebacks (gasterosteus aculeatus). naturally infected sticklebacks were incubated in aerated plastic aquaria (10 1) at 22 degrees c in water containing 0, 1, 5, 10, or 50 ...	1998	9491425
seasonal variation of parasite infection of three-spined stickleback (gasterosteus aculeatus l.) in the southern baltic.	seasonal changes of infection were observed in the case of some species of ectoparasites: trichodina domerguei domerguei, t. tenuidens, gyrodactylus arcuatus, and thersitina gasterostei, as well as for endoparasites: glugea anomala, schistocephalus solidus, diphyllobothrium ditremum, and proteocephalus filicollis. same seasonal changes in frequency of developmental stages were observed in the case of females t. gasterostei. the highest level of infection with ectoparasites was observed in spring ...	2002	16894719
immunohistochemistry, histopathology and ultrastructure of gasterosteus aculeatus tissues infected with glugea anomala.	immunohistochemical and histopathological studies were conducted on a population of 3-spined sticklebacks gasterosteus aculeatus (l.) from loch airthrey (stirling, scotland) naturally infected with the microsporean glugea anomala (moniez 1887). of the 55 host specimens that were examined, 16 (29.09%) were infected, the intensity of infection ranging from 1 to 4 xenomas per fish, which were principally located within the central portion of the body lateral flank musculature. all 32 g. anomala xen ...	2004	15109142
major histocompatibility complex diversity influences parasite resistance and innate immunity in sticklebacks.	proteins of the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) play a central role in the presentation of antigens to the adaptive immune system. the mhc also influences the odour-based choice of mates in humans and several animal taxa. it has recently been shown that female three-spined sticklebacks (gasterosteus aculeatus) aim at a moderately high mhc diversity in their offspring when choosing a mate. do they optimize the immune systems of their offspring? using three-spined sticklebacks that varied i ...	2004	15058398
