Abstract

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.

中欧人畜共患台湾吸虫（西谷，1924）的分子检测（棘虫目，异虫科）。

本研究对南方奇特月牙鱼（剑齿鱼目，剑齿鱼科）的呼吸障碍和死亡率进行了研究。鱼来自越南农场，由国际批发商重新分销。在鱼类中，在水面附近观察到食欲不振和喘气。鳃组织显示小的白色斑点，由囊蚴和囊肿周围的清除区域引起。初生鳃裂纤维增生、坏死、明显变形、缩短。样品固定在98%酒精中进行分子分析。采用分子方法对该菌株进行鉴定（GenBank登录号OP808358）。在这项研究中，我们首次报道了在中欧发现的福尔摩沙乌斯。不受控制的鱼类运输可能导致健康和经济问题，包括将人畜共患病原体传播到非本地生态系统。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Research Communications publishes fully refereed research articles and topical reviews on all aspects of the veterinary sciences. Interdisciplinary articles are particularly encouraged, as are well argued reviews, even if they are somewhat controversial. The journal is an appropriate medium in which to publish new methods, newly described diseases and new pathological findings, as these are applied to animals. The material should be of international rather than local interest. As it deliberately seeks a wide coverage, Veterinary Research Communications provides its readers with a means of keeping abreast of current developments in the entire field of veterinary science.
