This study aimed at evaluating the immunological status of Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus); so, a total of 120 O. niloticus were collected from different farms located in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate in Egypt during the period from January 2021 to January 2022. The fish were surveyed for commonly encysted metacercariae present in different organs such as gills, spleen, liver, kidney, and muscles. The collected encysted metacercariae were of the family Cyathocotylidae (Prohemistomum vivax) with a prevalence of 25%. Different cell-mediated immune responses such as Major histocompatibility class II alpha (MHC-IIα), Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7), Interleukin (IL-8), and Clusters of differentiation 4 (CD4) were assessed in different organs such as gills, spleen, liver, kidney, and muscles which revealed an elevation in different genes in infected organs as a reaction from the body against parasitic infection. In addition, the liver enzymes; aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), were assessed in the serum of O. niloticus as well as blood glucose, cortisol levels, and lysozyme activity were estimated to record higher levels in the infected fish in comparison with the control non-infected ones.
本研究旨在评估奥利亚罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)的免疫状态;因此,于 2021 年 1 月至 2022 年 1 月期间,从埃及卡夫尔·谢赫省的不同农场收集了总共 120 条奥利亚罗非鱼。对鱼类进行了调查,以检测常见的囊蚴在不同器官(如鳃、脾、肝、肾和肌肉)中的存在。收集到的囊蚴为 Cyathocotylidae 科(Prohemistomum vivax),流行率为 25%。在不同器官(如鳃、脾、肝、肾和肌肉)中评估了不同的细胞介导免疫反应,如主要组织相容性复合体 II 类 alpha(MHC-IIα)、Toll 样受体 7(TLR-7)、白细胞介素(IL-8)和分化群 4(CD4),结果表明感染器官中不同基因的升高是机体对寄生虫感染的反应。此外,还评估了奥利亚罗非鱼血清中的肝酶(天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT))以及血糖、皮质醇水平和溶菌酶活性,结果显示感染鱼的这些指标水平均高于未感染的对照鱼。
