In our study, fancy southern platyfish Xiphophorus maculatus (Cyprinodontiformes, Poeciliidae) were examined due to breathing disorders and mortality. Fish came from Vietnam farm and were redistributed by international wholesaler. In fish, loss of appetite and gasping near the water surface was observed. Gill tissue showed small white spots, caused by metacercariae and areas of clearing surrounding the cysts. Primary branchial filaments were hyperplastic, necrotic, significantly deformed and shortened. Samples were fixed in 98% alcohol for molecular analyses. The identity of C. formosanus (Opisthorchiida: Heterophyidae) was confirmed by molecular methods (GenBank accession number OP808358). In this study, we present the first report of C. formosanus in Central Europe. Uncontrolled transport of fish can lead to health and economic concerns, including the transmission of zoonotic pathogens to non-native ecosystems.
在我们的研究中,对具有奇特外观的南方剑尾鱼(Xiphophorus maculatus,鲤齿目,花鳉科)进行了检查,这些鱼出现了呼吸障碍和死亡情况。这些鱼来自越南养殖场,由国际批发商重新分销。在鱼身上,观察到食欲不振和在水面附近喘气的现象。鳃组织出现了由后尾蚴引起的小白点以及囊肿周围的清亮区域。初级鳃丝增生、坏死、严重变形且缩短。样本固定在98%的酒精中用于分子分析。通过分子方法(GenBank登录号OP808358)确认了台湾棘带吸虫(Centrocestus formosanus,复殖目:异形科)的身份。在本研究中,我们首次报告了台湾棘带吸虫在中欧的存在。鱼类的无控制运输可能导致健康和经济问题,包括人畜共患病原体传播到非本地生态系统。
