| concentrations of pentachlorophenol (pcp) in fish and shrimp in jiangsu province, china. | pentachlorophenol (pcp) concentrations were determined in 55 samples of fish, shrimp, crabs, frogs and turtles collected in jiangsu province and 55 freshwater shrimp samples collected from the huiming fish market, nanjing, china between 2003 and 2004. pcp concentrations ranged from less than the method detection limit (mdl: 0.5 microg/kg ww) to 61 microg/kg ww, with a mean of 5.2 microg/kg ww in 55 samples collected across jiangsu province and a mean of 0.5 microg/kg ww for freshwater shrimp col ... | 2007 | 17537482 |
| hematological and histological changes in prussian carp carassius gibelio infected with cyprinid herpesvirus 2. | outbreaks of cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (cyhv-2) disease, also known as herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis, among cultured prussian carp carassius gibelio has occurred each year in jiangsu province, china, since 2009. in autumn 2014, hematological, blood biochemical, and histological changes in naturally infected moribund prussian carp were investigated after cyhv-2 was confirmed as the sole etiologic agent by etiological analyses. total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, hemoglobin concentra ... | 2016 | 27484729 |
| first report of rahnella aquatilis infection in crucian carp carassius auratus in china. | rahnella aquatilis infection is rare in aquaculture. here, a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from diseased crucian carp carassius auratus in xuzhou city, jiangsu province, eastern china. the isolate was tentatively named strain kcl-5, and subsequently identified as r. aquatilis by biochemical properties and molecular techniques. the results showed that the isolate kcl-5 was most closely related to the type strain atcc33071 (= dsm4594) of r. aquatilis, which shared 99.67, 96.26 an ... | 2017 | 28322207 |
| morphological and molecular characterization of actinosporeans infecting oligochaete branchiura sowerbyi from chinese carp ponds. | we surveyed the actinosporean stages of fish myxosporeans at fish farms in jiangsu province, china, from 2011 to 2014. during the surveys, we identified 7 actinosporean types from 4 collective groups: echinactinomyxon (1 type), triactinomyxon (1 type), aurantiactinomyxon (1 type), and neoactinomyxum (4 types), released by the oligochaete branchiura sowerbyi. the morphological characteristics and dna sequences of these types are described here. based on 18s rdna sequence analysis, the actinospore ... | 2015 | 26036829 |
| thelohanellus wangi n. sp. (myxozoa, myxosporea), a new gill parasite of allogynogenetic gibel carp (carassius auratus gibelio bloch) in china, causing severe gill myxosporidiosis. | we describe here a new myxozoan, thelohanellus wangi n. sp., infecting the allogynogenetic gibel carp, carassius auratus gibelio (bloch), in a fry nursery farm in jiangsu province, china. polysporous gray white round or ovoid plasmodia, 500-1,500 μm in size, were found exclusively in the gill filaments. the diagnostic characteristics of the myxospores are as follows: spore melon seed shaped in frontal view with smooth surface and asymmetrical valves; convex-shaped in sutural view with straight o ... | 2015 | 25287713 |
| detection of toxoplasma gondii in shellfish and fish in parts of china. | in this study, a total of 3432 aquatic animals covering eight species were tested by specific polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assays to investigate the presence of toxoplasma gondii, in china. the results showed that, out of 618 procambarus clarkii samples collected from the different areas in southeast china, four samples from jiangxi province were positive. of 456 hypophthalmichthys molitrix samples, one sample from jiangsu province was positive. in addition, there was only one positive sample ... | 2014 | 24331298 |
| intake of freshwater fish and associated fatty acids and risk of breast cancer. | to investigate the association between intake of freshwater fish and their fatty acids and the risk of breast cancer in chinese women, we conducted a case-control study with 669 cases and 682 population-based controls in jiangsu province of china. a structured questionnaire was used to elicit detailed information. unconditional logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ors) and 95% confidence intervals (cis). total freshwater fish intake was linked to decrease in the a ... | 2014 | 25292081 |
