Abstract

Despite advances in research employing zebrafish (Danio rerio) as an animal model, it is still difficult to obtain animals with attested sanitary qualities from commercial breeders. This study reports the first-time occurrence of Eustrongylides spp. parasitism in a zebrafish colony recently acquired from a pet store supplier to begin a research colony at a scientific facility. This parasite has not been reported in any current zebrafish health-monitoring guidelines to date. Thus, this report is a warning to breeders and researchers that this nematode can parasitize zebrafish, causing high lethality rates and compromising research outcomes.

斑马鱼(Danio rerio)养殖设施中真圆线虫属寄生虫暴发(线虫:双足线虫科)。

尽管利用斑马鱼(Danio rerio)作为动物模型的研究取得了进展，但从商业育种者那里获得具有卫生质量的动物仍然很困难。本研究报告了首次在斑马鱼群体中出现的Eustrongylides spp.寄生虫，最近从宠物商店供应商那里获得，开始在科学设施中进行研究群体。迄今为止，在任何现行的斑马鱼健康监测指南中尚未报告这种寄生虫。因此，该报告是对育种者和研究人员的一个警告，即这种线虫可以寄生在斑马鱼上，造成高死亡率并影响研究成果。

期刊介绍： Zebrafish is the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the central role of zebrafish and other aquarium species as models for the study of vertebrate development, evolution, toxicology, and human disease. Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is a prime model for genetic and developmental studies. While genetically more distant from humans, the vertebrate zebrafish nevertheless has comparable organs and tissues, such as heart, kidney, pancreas, bones, and cartilage. Zebrafish introduced the new section TechnoFish, which highlights these innovations for the general zebrafish community. TechnoFish features two types of articles: TechnoFish Previews: Important, generally useful technical advances or valuable transgenic lines TechnoFish Methods: Brief descriptions of new methods, reagents, or transgenic lines that will be of widespread use in the zebrafish community Zebrafish coverage includes: Comparative genomics and evolution Molecular/cellular mechanisms of cell growth Genetic analysis of embryogenesis and disease Toxicological and infectious disease models Models for neurological disorders and aging New methods, tools, and experimental approaches Zebrafish also includes research with other aquarium species such as medaka, Fugu, and Xiphophorus.
