Activity of the antimicrobial polypeptide piscidin 2 against fish ectoparasites

Abstract The antiparasitic effects of piscidin 2, an antimicrobial polypeptide (AMPP) first isolated from mast cells of hybrid striped bass, were tested against three protistan ectoparasites of marine fish (the ciliates Cryptocaryon irritans and Trichodina sp., and the dinoflagellate Amyloodinium ocellatum) and one ciliate ectoparasite of freshwater fish (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis). I. multifiliis was the most susceptible parasite, with all theronts killed at 6.3 microg mL(-1) piscidin 2. The most resistant parasite was Trichodina, where a few cells were killed at 12.5 microg mL(-1), but several were still alive even at 100 microg mL(-1). C. irritans was of intermediate sensitivity, with some theronts killed at 12.5 microg mL(-1) and all killed at 25 microg mL(-1). High parasite density apparently exhausted the piscidin 2 before it could attain its maximal effect, but surviving parasites were often visibly damaged. The lower efficacy of piscidin 2 against marine parasites compared with the freshwater ciliate might be related to the inhibitory effects of high sea water cation levels. The tissue concentration of piscidins estimated in healthy hybrid striped bass gill (40 microg mL(-1)) suggests that piscidin 2 is lethal to the parasites tested at physiological concentrations and is thus an important component of innate defence in fish expressing this type of AMPP.     

人工感染的刺激隐核虫各期虫体的超微结构

从天然感染的卵圆鲳鲹（Trachiruotus blochii）分离到1株刺激隐核虫（Cryptocaryon irritans），再经人工感染的方法收集各期虫体，制成电镜样品，对虫体进行超微结构研究。刺激隐核虫质膜的基本结构与淡水的多子小瓜虫的质膜相似，分为3层；外限制膜、外胞膜和内胞膜。刺激隐核虫的质膜小泡内充满大量电子致密物质（EDM）。幼虫、幼体和滋养体均具有复杂的口器，由胞咽、口肋、双动基体口纤毛和线带等组成，但不具备膜口类纤毛虫所具有的独特的细胞器：Lieberkuhn氏器。单动基体的体纤毛存在于幼虫、幼体和滋养体，但在包囊期，体纤毛和口器消失。各期虫体的胞质中具有线粒体、高尔基体和脂肪体等细胞器，有的阶段具有粘液囊、伸缩泡、食物泡、共生细菌等。粘液囊在大小、形态和分布上与多子小瓜虫的不同。文中分析了刺激隐核虫在形态上与多子小瓜虫的诸多差异，认为刺激隐核虫的分类更适合归于原口类（Promotome），而不是膜口类（Ophryoglenina）。     

Immunosuppression in juvenile carp, Cyprinus carpio L.: the effects of the corticosteroids triamcinolone acetonide and hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate (cortisol) on acquired immunity and the humoral antibody response to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet

Abstract. Juvenile carp, Cyprinus carpio L., were immunized against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis following controlled exposure to the infective theront stage. On challenge, with a potentially lethal dose of theronts, all immunized fish survived, in contrast to 100% mortality in non-immunized fish. Fourteen days following exposure to the challenge infection, immune and non-immune fish were injected intraperitoneally with either triamcinolone acetonide or hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate (cortisol) at doses of 100 μg or 10 μg/g body weight. Controls, including immunized and non-immunized fish, were injected with saline or left untreated. Six days following corticosteroid administration, fish were exposed to challenge infections of I multifiliis. All fish treated with corticosteroid developed heavy infections with up to 100% mortality. Repeat experiments gave comparable results. Serum antibody levels recorded in similarly treated fish at intervals of 12 h and/or 1 week following corticosteroid administration were found to be relatively unaffected. The results are discussed in relation to the immune response to I multifiliis .     

Apoptosis in Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is associated with expression of the Fas receptor of theronts

The expression of type I membrane Fas receptors on the surface of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) theronts and the possible association between Fas expression and theront apoptosis induced by the immune antibody was examined. Fas receptors were detected on the theront surface using fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody against Fas. Fas-positive theronts significantly increased with time during in vitro incubation and with increasing theront concentration. Furthermore, the immune cutaneous antibody induced theront apoptosis; however, Fas ligand did not. A highly significant correlation was noted between theront Fas expression and immune cutaneous antibody-induced theront apoptosis. Numbers of apoptotic theronts increased with increasing number of Fas-positive theronts. The data indicated that theront apoptosis induced by immune cutaneous antibody appears to be positively correlated with the expression of Fas on the surface of Ich theronts.     

Molecular characteristics of an immobilization antigen gene of the fish-parasitic protozoan Ichthyophthirius multifiliis strain ARS-6

Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich), a ciliated protozoan parasite of fish, expresses surface antigens (i-antigens), which react with host antibodies that render them immobile. The nucleotide sequence of an i-antigen gene of I. multifiliis strain ARS-6 was deduced. The predicted protein of 47 493 Da is comprised of 460 amino acids (aa's) arranged into five imperfect repeats with periodic cysteine residues with the structure: CX₍₁₉₎₂₀CX₂CX₁₆₋₂₇CX₂CX₂₀₍₂₁₎CX₃. The N-terminal aa's typify a signal peptide motif while a stretch of C-terminal aa's resemble a glycosyl–phosphatidyl–inositol (GPI)-anchor addition site. The degree of deduced i-antigen aa sequence identity of strain ARS-6 (GenBank accession # ACH87654 and # ACH95659) with other I. multifiliis i-antigen sequences present in GenBank ranges from 99% to 36% identity with 52 kDa i-antigens of I. multifiliis strain G5 (accession #s AAK94941 and AAK01661 respectively). Immunoblot analysis of i-antigens following exposure of I. multifiliis theronts to catfish anti- I. multifiliis immune serum did not show any appreciable alteration in i-antigen expression. The mechanism that regulates i-antigen expression in I. multifiliis remains a puzzling question.     

Immunization of grouper, Epinephelus coioides, confers protection against a protozoan parasite, Cryptocaryon irritans

The present study aimed to determine whether protection is conferred by immunization of grouper, Epinephelus coioides, against a protozoan parasite, Cryptocaryon irritans. The immunization of E. coioides was carried out by a low level exposure of fish to live C. irritans theronts from predetermined number of tomonts and by an intraperitoneal injection of a vaccine consisting of formalin-killed C. irritans theronts.

Mucus titers detected by ELISA were significantly higher in fingerling and adult grouper subjected to the low level of exposure to C. irritans theronts at 3-week post-exposure compared to fish that had no previous exposure. In addition, significantly smaller tomonts were produced from adult grouper after three successive exposures than the tomonts produced after a single exposure to the parasite.

In the vaccine-immunization experiment, no mortality was monitored in fish that received high dose vaccine (100 μg/fish), while 40% cumulative mortality and 100% cumulative mortality were recorded in low dose group (10 μg/fish) and control group (PBS-injected), respectively. In the succeeding replicate, the vaccine-immunized group (high dose) had 37.5% cumulative mortality and 100% cumulative mortality for the control. In addition, a total of 1830 tomonts were collected at 5-day post-challenge from the control group while none from the vaccine-immunized group. Significantly fewer trophonts and tomonts were enumerated at 5-day and 7-day post-challenge, respectively, in the vaccine-immunized group than the control.

Results suggest that a protective immunity has been conferred on the immunized grouper as indicated by high antibody titers in the mucus of C. irritans-exposed fish and higher survival and fewer parasites in vaccine-immunized fish than the control groups. The conferred immunity played a major role in preventing or limiting the adhesion, invasion, and development of C. irritans theronts on the skin of the immunized grouper.     

槟榔、川楝子复方中草药对大黄鱼4种酶活性的影响及对刺激隐核虫的杀灭效果分析

海水小瓜虫病是养殖大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)和数十种海水鱼类较难控制的主要疾病,它是由刺激隐核虫(Cryptography irritans)感染引发,严重威胁鱼类养殖产业的健康发展。本研究利用复方中草药"HD-2"(槟榔、川楝子、绵马贯众、大青叶、穿心莲等以一定比例混合,超微粉碎经过200目过筛后收集粉末)投喂大黄鱼,研究大黄鱼溶菌酶(LZM)、总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)等非特异性免疫指标变化和不同用药方式对刺激隐核虫的杀灭效果。结果显示,口服"HD-2"可以促进鱼体LZM、T-SOD、AKP、ACP活性升高,以添加2%中草药组在提高4种酶活性方面作用显著,投喂后第14~21天酶活性最高。"HD-2"对体外刺激隐核虫幼虫的杀灭实验证实:4 h内在50 mg/L浓度下对幼虫没有杀伤作用,80 mg/L、100 mg/L、200 mg/L浓度分别可以杀死20%、54%、89%的幼虫,400 mg/L浓度下幼虫被全部杀死,幼虫4 h半致死浓度为109 mg/L。在室内为期15 d的大黄鱼小瓜虫病治疗实验中,A组按20 g/kg添加"HD-2"药物口服,同时按100 mg/L浓度药浴,存活率为50%;B组按20 g/kg添加药物口服,同时按50 mg/L浓度药浴,存活率50.67%;C组,在无药浴情况下,仅按20 g/kg添加药物口服,存活率为42.67%;A、B、C组存活率均显著高于对照组存活率2.67%(P0.05)。此外,A、B、C 3组中,大黄鱼胸鳍上白点数量明显少于对照组;同时,3个组的大黄鱼鳃丝上隐核虫数量均呈显著下降趋势(P0.05),实验结束时几乎观察不到虫体;而对照组大黄鱼鳃丝上隐核虫数量明显上升。实验过程中A、B、C 3组大黄鱼释放到体外的包囊数量明显下降,第12天时其包囊数量分别下降100%、91.1%、77.7%,与对照组差异极显著(P0.01)。综上所述,口服和药浴同时用药具有最佳效果,仅口服中草药亦能达到良好治疗效果。从实用性和成本考虑,建议仅进行口服处理,即能保障大黄鱼较高成活率,中草药添加量为2%,投喂时间为6~14 d。该结果为防控鱼类小瓜虫病提供了理论参考和技术支撑,在养殖生产中将具有良好的应用前景。     

In vitro assessment of the antiparasitic effect of caprylic acid against several fish parasites

The antiparasitic effect of caprylic acid against several fish parasites, i.e., the ciliate Cryptocaryon irritans (theronts), monogenean Benedenia seriolae (oncomiracidia and adults), copepod Pseudocaligus fugu (copepodids and adults) and myxosporean Kudoa shiomitsui (spores), was examined by in vitro trials.

Caprylic acid at a concentration of 1 mM had a parasiticidal effect against C. irritans theronts, B. seriolae oncomiracidia and K. shiomitsui spores and a contractile effect against B. seriolae adults, but had no clear effect against P. fugu copepodids and adults. These results suggest that caprylic acid may have an antiparasitic effect against various fish parasites, including parasites classified as monogenea, ciliates and myxosporea.
