Quantification of Saprolegnia parasitica in river water using real-time quantitative PCR: from massive fish mortality to tap drinking water. (hal.science)
Since 2010, the Loue River (Franche-Comté, East of France) has been suffering from massive fish kills infested by Saprolegnia parasitica. (hal.science)
Suitable gene candidates were identified, and their products analysed, as illustrated by the oomycete-wide discovery and phylogenetic analysis of the chitin synthase gene family (paper I), and the identification of the cellulose synthase genes in Saprolegnia parasitica (paper II) and Phytophthora capsici (paper III). (kth.se)
As many of you are aware, Scottish rivers have been dealing with the resurgence of Saprolegnia - a potentially harmful water mould that resembles fungus and poses a serious threat to fish health. (riverspey.org)
Occasional cases of fungus ( Saprolegnia sp . (petplace.com)
It is used in aquariums for the treatment of fungus susceptible to Fluconazole like Ichthyophonus hoferi and Saprolegnia fungus. (bluelifeusa.com)
Fungi3
Cotton Wool Disease is typically caused by Saprolegnia and Achyla which are types of fungi. (pet-comfort-products.com)
The usual causes of this malady are fungi of the family Saprolegniaceae, most commonly members of the genus Saprolegnia and the related genus Achyla . (chewy.com)
Under normal conditions, Saprolegniafungi are harmless inhabitants of freshwater fish aquariums that attack dead and decaying organic matter. (chewy.com)
Saprolegniales1
Current taxonomy puts Saprolegnia as a genus of the heterokonts in the order Saprolegniales. (wikipedia.org)
Pathogen1
Saprolegnia is generally a secondary pathogen, though in the right circumstances, it can act as primary. (wikipedia.org)
Saprolegnia is a genus of water moulds often called cotton moulds because of the characteristic white or grey fibrous patches they form. (wikipedia.org)
Hyphae1
Saprolegnia filaments (hyphae) are long with rounded ends, containing the zoospores. (wikipedia.org)
Necrosis2
Through necrosis of the skin, Saprolegnia will spread across the surface of its host as a cotton-like film. (wikipedia.org)
In the case of the aforementioned necrosis outbreak, the Saprolegnia would have been a secondary infection that exacerbated the progress of the disease. (fieldofscience.com)
The cottony growth so often associated with the disease, however, was made up of a mould-like organism called Saprolegnia . (fieldofscience.com)
Introduced strain1
Historical evidence suggest the Saprolegnia species affecting Australian freshwater fish may be an introduced strain, imported in the 1800s with exotic salmonid species. (wikipedia.org)
Infections2
The extensive mortalities of salmon and migratory trout in the rivers of western Europe in the 1970s and 1980s in the UDN outbreak were probably almost all ultimately caused by the secondary Saprolegnia infections. (wikipedia.org)
Also, we cannot stress enough the importance of reporting suspected Saprolegnia infections. (riverspey.org)
Organic matter2
Saprolegnia typically subsists on dead organic matter, but will opportunistically feed on fish and their eggs where circumstances allow. (practicalfishkeeping.co.uk)
Saprolegnia colonizes dead and decaying organic matter, not healthy living tissue - it will not initially attack uninjured healthy tropical fish with intact slime coats, but will secondarily invade the damaged tissues of wounds and injuries. (chewy.com)
Fatal1
A Saprolegniainfection is usually fatal, eventually causing hemodilution, though the time to death varies depending on the initial site of the infection, rate of growth and the ability of the organism to withstand the stress of the infection. (wikipedia.org)
Aquarium1
It's worthwhile remembering that you cannot completely prevent Saprolegnia from entering your aquarium. (practicalfishkeeping.co.uk)
Environments1
Some pathogens, including strains of Saprolegnia, can survive in damp environments, so this step is crucial. (riverspey.org)
Fish2
Saprolegnia often manifests as white, cream, or pale brown cotton wool-like growths on fish skin and fins, causing severe skin damage that could lead to lethargy, debilitation, and in severe cases, mass fish mortality. (riverspey.org)
If you catch a fish showing symptoms of Saprolegnia, report the incident to Fisheries Management Scotland immediately. (riverspey.org)
Cotton1
The most common pests in this category are Saprolegnia, having an appearance of soft, cotton-like growths where they've established. (practicalfishkeeping.co.uk)
Species1
Saprolegnia generally travels in colonies consisting of one or more species. (wikipedia.org)
Spread1
You can significantly help to reduce the spread of Saprolegnia by adopting a rigorous biosecurity protocol, focusing particularly on a detailed disinfection of your angling equipment both before and after use. (riverspey.org)
Dead1
Unfertilized, damaged, and dead embryos offer no resistance, and will readily succumb to Saprolegnia. (practicalfishkeeping.co.uk)
Time1
Saprolegnia has a difficult time colonizing live eggs, which have some degree of immunity and built-in antimicrobial enzymes. (practicalfishkeeping.co.uk)
Saprolegnia Fungus in Fish and Koi: R.E.Carlson "White Fluffy Stuff on my Fish! (koivet.com)
Saprolegnia - Water Fungus - by R.E. Carlson Like all fresh water environments, koi and goldfish ponds are living ecosystems. (koivet.com)
Fish are also susceptible to fungus-like oomycetes including Branchiomyces which affects the gills of various fishes and Saprolegnia which attacks damaged tissue. (allrefer.com)
Experimental parent mortality was unaffected by the simulated C&R, however the growth rate of the fungus Saprolegnia spp. (gla.ac.uk)
A Saprolegniainfection is usually fatal, eventually causing hemodilution, though the time to death varies depending on the initial site of the infection, rate of growth and the ability of the organism to withstand the stress of the infection. (wikipedia.org)
Oomycete1
Little information is available in the literature on anti-oomycete activity of natural products against Saprolegnia sp. (biomedcentral.com)
These results suggest that among the fungal community associated with salmon eggs, Trichoderma species may play a role in Saprolegnia suppression in aquaculture. (knaw.nl)
An increase in egg and fry mortality was noted for the groups whose parents were exposed to air, mostly due to higher mortality during egg shocking (a normal husbandry practice in hatcheries to separate non-viable eggs) and an increase in fry mortality during a 12-day fungal (Saprolegnia spp. (gla.ac.uk)
Aquaculture1
Due to the prohibition of several chemical control agents, novel sustainable measures are required to control Saprolegnia infections in aquaculture. (knaw.nl)
Isolation1
5. Isolation of anti-Saprolegnia lignans from Magnolia officinalis and SAR evaluation of honokiol/magnolol analogs. (nih.gov)
Genetic1
The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and method sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) were used to study the genetic diversity and relationships of Saprolegnia spp. (mdpi.com)
Mold2
I did this because the tree frogs are being killed by a mold called saprolegnia. (orionmagazine.org)
The second is that, if I did leave the egg sacs alone, in time those frogs emerging with a greater resistance to saprolegnia would survive and those without would not, so that in the long run frogs and mold would find a new balance. (orionmagazine.org)
Fish1
1. Saprolegnia Diseases Prevention Of Fish Diseases Thorough cleansing of the fish pond with quicklime can minimize the incidence of this disease. (linpvr.org)

So we - the frogs, the pond, the forest and all its members (including me and, for that matter, the saprolegnia and other predators) - don't have much to lose by this manipulation. (orionmagazine.org)
