A fish kill was recorded at the Aposelemis Dam, which is the main reservoir of drinking water for the island of Crete in Greece. Hundreds of goldfish were found dead at a side stream which provides water to the reservoir. The affected fish had been entrapped in a small pond at the side of the stream with practically zero water renewal as the event occurred in August which is a dry season for the island of Crete. The event was alarming for the local community since anthropogenic pollution was initially suspected which could pose a significant human health threat. Following examination of the fish, the mortality was attributed to heavy infection by the parasitic flagellate, Ichthyobodo sp., whilst no pollutants were detected. The parasite was studied through light and scanning electron microscopy and was identified molecularly.
在阿波塞莱米斯水坝（Aposelemis Dam）发生了一起鱼类死亡事件，该水坝是希腊克里特岛的主要饮用水水库。在为水库供水的一条支流中发现了数百条金鱼死亡。受影响的鱼类被困在溪流旁的一个小池塘中，由于事件发生在 8 月，正值克里特岛的旱季，因此几乎没有水的更新。这一事件令当地社区感到震惊，因为最初怀疑是人为污染，这可能对人类健康构成重大威胁。对鱼类进行检查后，死亡原因被归因于严重感染寄生鞭毛虫 Ichthyobodo sp.，而没有检测到污染物。通过光镜和扫描电子显微镜研究了寄生虫，并通过分子鉴定对其进行了鉴定。
