Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infection in a Black tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi)

Bu olguda bir siyah tetra balığında (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) Ichthyophthirius multifiliis enfeksiyonunun makroskobik ve mikroskobik bulguları tanımlandı. Makroskobik olarak balığın baş ve sırt bölgelerinde değişik büyüklüklerde beyaz benekler ile deride ve solungaçlarda aşırı mukus artışı gözlendi. Mikroskobik olarak parazitlere operkulum ile solungaçların sekonder lamellerinde bol miktarda rastlandı. Ayrıca solungaçların chlorid hücrelerinde şiddetli hiperplazi ve buna bağlı sekonder lamellerde yapışmalar belirlendi.

Siyah tetra balığında (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) Ichthyophthirius multifiliis enfeksiyonu

In this case, the macroscopic and microscopic findings of a Black tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis were described. Macroscopically, there were white spots in the different sizes on the skin of head and back, and increase amount of mucus on the skin and gills of fish. Microscopically, the parasites were found on the epidermis of operculum and gill lamellae. Gills showed the hyperplasia between the chlorid cells and adhesions in the secondary lamellae.
