| experimental infections of farmed eels with different trypanosoma granulosum life-cycle stages and investigation of pleomorphism. | trypanosoma granulosum, a flagellate protozoon commonly found in the blood of the european eel anguilla anguilla, was injected experimentally into uninfected eels purchased from a local farm. in order to investigate the infectivity of different stages in the life cycle, trypanosomes from various sources were used for inoculation. infectivity was greatly reduced in in vitro culture stages inoculated at 20 c. isolated bloodstream stages injected into groups of animals held at 12 and 20 c could be ... | 2000 | 10701564 |
| do eel parasites reflect the local crustacean community? a case study from the rhine river system. | in 2003, the parasite fauna of 197 european eels anguilla anguilla, captured at three different locations (laufenburg, karlsruhe and beneeden leeuwen) in the river rhine, was analysed. the eels harboured a total of 18 species, among them the protozoa (myxidium giardi, myxobolus kotlani and trypanosoma granulosum), acanthocephalans (acanthocephalus anguillae, acanthocephalus lucii, echinorhynchus truttae, pomphorhynchus laevis), nematodes (paraquimperia tenerrima, pseudocapillaria tomentosa, cama ... | 2007 | 17578598 |
| richness and diversity of parasite communities in european eels anguilla anguilla of the river rhine, germany, with special reference to helminth parasites. | a total of 121 european eels (anguilla anguilla) from 2 sampling sites on the river rhine were investigated in respect of their parasite communities. special attention was given to the swim bladders, intestines, gills and fins of the fish. twelve different parasite species were found to live in and on the eels. data from each sampling site were kept separate. parasites found in descending order of prevalence were: anguillicola crassus, trypanosoma granulosum, myxobolus sp., paratenuisentis ambig ... | 1999 | 10503258 |
| parasitological study of a population of tiber river eels (anguilla anguilla). | a study was conducted on the parasitofauna of anguilla anguilla caught in the section of the tiber river south of rome (italy). the sample examined consisted of 417 specimens that were classified by stage (elver, young yellow eel, yellow eel and silver eel) and season of sampling. the following species were identified: trypanosoma granulosum, eimeria anguillae, myxidium giardi, sphaerospora reichenowi, myxobolus sp., trichodina anguilli, ichthyohodo sp., gyrodactylus anguillae, bothriocephalus c ... | 1987 | 3508508 |
| mitogenic activity of insulin in the culture of a trypanosome: duration and dose response. | the effects of insulin on the in vitro growth characteristics of trypanosoma granulosum were investigated. the insulin growth stimulus had a rapid onset with little or no lag phase but was relatively short lived, growth peaking typically on day 3 or 4 of culture. this contrasted with medium containing 10% foetal calf serum, normally used for in vitro culture of this trypanosome, which after a 3 day lag stimulated sustained log-phase growth. insulin demonstrated a biphasic dose response with maxi ... | 2003 | 12713803 |
| polyamine and thiol metabolism in trypanosoma granulosum: similarities with trypanosoma cruzi. | concentrations of free polyamines were investigated in trypanosoma granulosum cultured in a semidefined medium containing traces of polyamines. spermidine content peaked in early logarithmic growth while putrescine was not detectable. unlike african trypanosomes and leishmania, spermine was measured at equivalent amounts to spermidine in mid to late logarithmic stage cells. addition of d,l-alpha-difluoromethylornithine to cultures did not decrease polyamine content nor was ornithine decarboxylas ... | 2001 | 11302739 |
| characteristics of the peripheral blood of the anguillicola crassus (kuwahara, niimi et tagaki, 1974) and trypanosoma granulosum laveran et mesnil, 1902 infested eel (anguilla anguilla l.) ascending the river rega (north-western poland). | the study was aimed at characterising the peripheral blood of eel (anguilla anguilla l.) ascending the river rega and infested with anguillicola crassus (kuwahara, niimi et itagaki, 1974) and trypanosoma granulosum laveran et mesnil, 1902. material and methods: haematological assays were performed on 58 eel individuals caught in august and september 2001 and in july 2002. the nematode anguillicola crassus was identified in the swim bladder lumen of 44 eel individuals. the mean infestation intens ... | 2007 | 18441878 |
