| two new blood flukes (digenea: sanguinicolidae) from epinephelinae (perciformes: serranidae) of the pacific ocean. | pearsonellum pygmaeus n. sp. is described from cromileptes altivelis (serranidae), the barramundi cod, from heron island (southern great barrier reef) and lizard island (northern great barrier reef). this new species differs from pearsonellum corventum (type and only species) in the combination of smaller overall body size, the relative distance of the brain from the anterior end, the relative lengths of both the oesophagus and the testis, the degree to which the testis extends outside the inter ... | 2004 | 15464442 |
| phylogenetic analysis of betanodavirus isolates from australian finfish. | in australia, disease caused by betanodavirus has been reported in an increasing number of cultured finfish since the first report of mortalities in 1990. partial coat protein gene sequences from the t2 or t4 regions of 8 betanodaviruses from barramundi lates calcarifer, sleepy cod oxyeleotris lineolata, striped trumpeter latris lineata, barramundi cod cromileptes altivelis, australian bass macquaria novemaculata and gold-spotted rockcod epinephelus coioides from several australian states were d ... | 2009 | 20099409 |
| culture-independent genomics of a novel chlamydial pathogen of fish provides new insight into host-specific adaptations utilized by these intracellular bacteria. | several chlamydiales families are associated with epitheliocystis, a common condition of the fish gill epithelium. these families share common ancestors with the chlamydiaceae and environmental chlamydiae. due to the lack of culture systems, little is known about the biology of these chlamydial fish pathogens. we investigated epitheliocystis in cultured orange-spotted grouper (epinephelus coioides) from north queensland, australia. basophilic inclusions were present in the gills of 22/31 fish an ... | 2017 | 28205377 |
