| the molecular epidemiology of iridovirus in murray cod (maccullochella peelii peelii) and dwarf gourami (colisa lalia) from distant biogeographical regions suggests a link between trade in ornamental fish and emerging iridoviral diseases. | iridoviruses have emerged over 20 years to cause epizootics in finfish and amphibians in many countries. they may have originated in tropical asia and spread through trade in farmed food fish or ornamental fish, but this has been difficult to prove. consequently, mcp, atpase and other viral genes were sequenced from archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from farmed murray cod (maccullochella peelii peelii) that died during an epizootic in 2003 and from diseased gouramis that had bee ... | 2006 | 16697343 |
| emergence of epizootic ulcerative syndrome in native fish of the murray-darling river system, australia: hosts, distribution and possible vectors. | epizootic ulcerative syndrome (eus) is a fish disease of international significance and reportable to the office international des epizootics. in june 2010, bony herring nematalosa erebi, golden perch macquaria ambigua, murray cod maccullochella peelii and spangled perch leiopotherapon unicolor with severe ulcers were sampled from the murray-darling river system (mdrs) between bourke and brewarrina, new south wales australia. histopathology and polymerase chain reaction identified the fungus-lik ... | 2012 | 22558170 |
| evidence of multiple species of chilodonella (protozoa, ciliophora) infecting australian farmed freshwater fishes. | parasitic chilodonella species, chilodonella piscicola and chilodonella hexasticha, cause considerable economic losses globally to freshwater farmed fish production. some genetic studies of chilodonella spp. have indicated that many species within the genus may form cryptic species complexes. to understand the diversity of chilodonella spp. infecting australian freshwater farmed fish, specimens were isolated from infected barramundi (lates calcarifer) and murray cod (maccullochella peelii) from ... | 2017 | 28291600 |
