Occurrence and characterisation of Eustrongylides species in Australian native birds and fish

Shokoofeh Shamsi et al.

Summary: In Australia, a study was conducted to characterize genetically and morphologically the nematodes belonging to the genus Eustrongylides that infect fish, reptiles, and birds. The study identified the adult nematodes from cormorants as E. excisus and discovered that their genetic sequences were identical to those already available in the GenBank. However, it is noted that there is limited information on Eustrongylides species, and the possibility of other species occurring in Australia cannot be excluded.

Five-years management of an emerging parasite risk (Eustrongylides sp., Nematoda) in a fishery supply chain located on Trasimeno Lake (Italy)

Raffaella Franceschini et al.

Summary: The widespread diffusion of the potentially zoonotic parasitic nematodes Eustrongylides in the Trasimeno Lake, Italy, has prompted the implementation of preventive measures in the freshwater fish supply chain. This study presents the results of self-checks conducted by a fishermen's cooperative over a five-year period, which showed varying levels of parasite occurrence in different freshwater fish species. The findings highlight the importance of implementing preventive measures to protect consumers' health and trust.

OCCURRENCE OF EUSTRONGYLIDES EXCISUS (NEMATODA:DIOCTOPHYMATIDAE) IN EUROPEAN PERCH (PERCA FLUVIATILIS) AND GREAT CORMORANT (PHALACROCORAX CARBO) IN LAKE ANNONE, NORTHERN ITALY

Aurora Rusconi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the occurrence of Eustrongylides in fish and fish-eating birds in an Italian lake and found that the range of this nematode is expanding in Europe. Given the eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems and the increasing population of cormorants, surveillance of this parasite should be strengthened.

S. L. Honcharov et al.

Summary: The Eustrongylides spp. nematode is widely distributed worldwide, with different host species in different regions. The nematode can cause Eustrongylidosis, a parasitic disease, and there are more host species in regions with warmer climatic conditions.

Parasites of zoonotic interest in selected edible freshwater fish imported to Australia

Michelle Williams et al.

Summary: Australia imports a significant amount of edible freshwater fish, some of which are not compliant with importation guidelines and contaminated with zoonotic parasites. This study is the first to report the occurrence of zoonotic parasites in imported edible fish in Australia. The identified parasites, Eustrongylides sp. and Isoparorchis sp., have been known to cause human infections.

Summary: This study reported, for the first time, the occurrence of parasitic nematode Eustrongylides excisus in big-scale sand smelt specimens in Italy. It highlights potential quality and public health issues in the fish supply chain and consumption of raw fish.

Could Fish Feeding Behaviour and Size Explain Prevalence Differences of the Nematode Eustrongylides excisus among Species? The Case Study of Lake Garda

Vasco Menconi et al.

Summary: The study investigated the parasitism of Eustrongylides excisus in freshwater fish in Lake Garda, Italy, and found significant differences in prevalence values among different fish species. Piscivorous fish species were more likely to be positive for E. excisus, with the highest prevalence in Micropterus salmoides. Additionally, a negative correlation between body size and E. excisus was observed in Perca fluviatilis, which mainly feeds on zooplankton and benthic invertebrates.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Eustrongylides excisus larvae (Nematoda: Dioctophymatidae) in Sander lucioperca (L.) from Northern Turkey

Gokmen Zafer Pekmezci et al.

Summary: The genus Eustrongylides includes parasitic nematodes affecting fish and piscivorous birds, with limited molecular characterization of E. excisus available. This study identified E. excisus larvae from pike-perch in Northern Turkey, providing the first records of SSU rRNA and COI sequences for E. excisus in GenBank and a molecular characterization in Turkey. The sequences obtained can be used for further phylogenetic studies of Eustrongylides species worldwide.

Numbers of Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo wintering in the western Palaearctic in January 2013

Mennobart R. van Eerden et al.

Summary: In January 2013, a pan-European census of Great Cormorants revealed a wide distribution range with over 1 million birds counted, with about one-third found in areas with temperatures of -5 degrees Celsius or lower. Compared to the winter count in 2003, there was a significant increase in the number of birds, indicating potential changes in wintering patterns for this species.
