Transcriptomic analysis of immune-related genes in Pacific white snook (Centropomus viridis) gills infected with the monogenean parasite Rhabdosynochus viridisi.

The parasite Rhabdosynochus viridisi (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) infects the Pacific white snook Centropomus viridis gills and can cause adverse effects in the aquaculture industry. The immune responses of Pacific white snook to monogenean infections are poorly understood. Thus, this study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the gills of Pacific white snook juveniles experimentally infected with R.

The Efficacy of Geraniol and ß-Citronellol against Freshwater and Marine Monogeneans.

Monogeneans are parasitic flatworms that may be a threat for finfish aquaculture. In this study, the anthelmintic activity of two terpenes, geraniol and β-citronellol, was tested in vitro against ancyrocephalin and diplectanid monogeneans. Experiments were performed in both water and a culture medium.

In vitro efficacy of two terpenes against ancyrocephalid monogeneans from Nile tilapia.

Terpenes are naturally produced compounds with a broad range of biological activities. Currently, there is limited information regarding the anthelminthic effect of terpenes against monogenean parasites of fish. The aim of this work was to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of two terpenes [α-terpinene and (+)-limonene oxide] against ancyrocephalid monogeneans found on farmed Nile tilapia ().

Novel antihelmintic activity of tinidazole coordination compounds. Relevance of the metal ion and structural properties.

The in vitro and in vivo antihelmintic activity of cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) coordination compounds of tinidazole (tnz) were investigated in cultivated spotted rose snapper, infested with dactylogyrid monogeneans. The tinidazole coordination compounds [Co(tnz)Cl], [Co(tnz)Br], [Cu(tnz)Cl], [Cu(tnz)Br], [Zn(tnz)Cl] and [Zn(tnz)Br] were synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Their molecular structures were determined by their single crystal X-ray diffraction.
