| praziquantel delivery via moist pellets to treat monogenean parasites of yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi: efficacy and feed acceptance. | praziquantel (pzq) is registered for oral use against benedenia seriolae infecting seriola spp. in japan, but its bitter taste causes poor palatability. incorporating pzq in a moist pellet may help mask the flavor to improve intake. altering delivery, however, may influence efficacy. we assessed the minimum effective concentrations of pzq in moist pellets delivered by intubation for the monogeneans zeuxapta seriolae and b. seriolae infecting yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi in flow-through ta ... | 2016 | 27786158 |
| efficacy of orally administered praziquantel against zeuxapta seriolae and benedenia seriolae (monogenea) in yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi. | we investigated the efficacy of praziquantel (pzq) administered orally to yellowtail kingfish (seriola lalandi in sea-cage aquaculture in south australia) against the monogeneans zeuxapta seriolae and benedenia seriolae infesting gills and skin, respectively. pzq was administered to fish by surface-coating feed pellets (trial 1) or by direct intubation of the stomach (trial 2). in both trials 4 daily doses were administered: 50 and 75 mg kg(-1) body weight (bw) d(-1) for 6 d, and 100 and 150 mg ... | 2007 | 18062471 |
| effect of water temperature on reproductive development of benedenia seriolae (monogenea: capsalidae) from seriola lalandi in australia. | the monogenean benedenia seriolae (yamaguti, 1934) meserve, 1938 is a major pathogen of farmed yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi in south australia. to control parasite populations in commercial farms, an understanding of the effect of water temperature on parasite development is vital. this study investigated the effect of water temperature (14, 18, 22 and 26 +/- 0.5 degrees c) on development, growth rates and age at sexual maturity of b. seriolae. five distinct developmental stages, defined ... | 2007 | 17465308 |
| effects of temperature on fecundity in vitro, egg hatching and reproductive development of benedenia seriolae and zeuxapta seriolae (monogenea) parasitic on yellowtail kingfish seriola lalandi. | globally, aquaculture industries involved with commercial culture of kingfish (seriola spp.) experience outbreaks of monogenean parasites, which can cause heavy stock losses. in australia and new zealand, aquaculturists of kingfish seriola lalandi incur financial losses caused by two monogenean species: benedenia seriolae and zeuxapta seriolae which parasitise the skin and gills, respectively. this study provides information on some basic temperature-dependent life-cycle parameters of these prob ... | 2004 | 15722083 |
