Study on the distribution of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in wild trout in South Tyrol – Italy
Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae is a myxozoan endoparasite responsible for Proliferative Kidney Disease (PKD) among salmonids. The myxozoan life cycle and the manifestation of clinical signs of infection in fish are water temperature related. PKD is considered an emerging disease, as climate changes could increase the possibility of outbreaks. In South Tyrol (Italy), the protection of the environment and ecosystems is considered of primary importance. The population of fish is therefore routinely monitored to verify the health status of the local waterways. Based on this knowledge, a two-year study (2022−2023) was conducted by the Institute for Animal Disease Control of Bolzano, with the contribution of the Wildlife Management Office of Bolzano. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and the geographic distribution of T. bryosalmonae in trout from four of the main watercourses in South Tyrol: Isarco, Rienza and Adige rivers and the Passirio stream, with a particular focus on identifying clinical and subclinical forms of infection. A total of 143 trout was collected in 2022 (102 juveniles and 41 adults) and a total of 137 in 2023 (76 juveniles and 61 adults) in 30 different sites from the abovementioned watercourses and their adjacent irrigation ditches. All fish were subjected to anatomical inspections and kidney samples were processed to perform cytological, histological and molecular examinations. Results showed a positivity rate of T. bryosalmonae of 11 % within the sampled specimens, specifically affecting adult trout, and mainly distributed in a limited geographic area.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
