Complement‐mediated killing of Philasterides dicentrarchi (Ciliophora) by turbot serum: relative importance of alternative and classical pathways

Fresh serum from nonimmunized fish showed a moderate ability to kill the parasite, which indicates that P. dicentrarchi is able to activate the alternative complement pathway (ACP) and turbot complement and specific antibodies against the ciliate parasite.

Role of scuticociliate proteinases in infection success in turbot, Psetta maxima (L.)

The results confirm that P. dicentrarchi proteinases in serum from infected fish may provide a mechanism for circumventing normal host immunity by inactivating the Ab and complement factors required for complement activation.

Immunity in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, against the monogenean Discocotyle sagittata following primary infection

Super-infection experiments suggested that no concomitant immunity develops inbow trout, and no correlation was found between initial burdens and the outcome of secondary challenges in the same individual.

Preliminary investigation into the killing effect of kingfish (Seriola lalandi) serum and mucus against the monogenean parasites Benedenia seriolae and Zeuxapta seriolae

Results suggest that the blood-feeding gill parasite Z. seriolae is considerably more resistant to host immune responses compared with skin- and mucus-dwelling B. Seriolae, suggesting that previously observed activity against this parasite was most likely mediated via the alternative complement pathway.

Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) innate defence against the parasite Enteromyxum leei (Myxozoa)

Data demonstrate the involvement of complement activity in the defence mechanisms of the gilthead seabream against the myxosporean E. leei infections in Mediterranean fish farms.

Alternative Complement Activity in the Egg Cytosol of Amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri: Evidence for the Defense Role of Maternal Complement Components

This appears to be the first report providing the evidence for the functional role of the maternal complement components in the eggs of invertebrates, paving the way for the study of maternal immunity in other invertebrate organisms whose eggs are fertilized in vitro.

Effects of a natural parasitical infection (Lernanthropus kroyeri) on the immune system of European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L

The immune response of European sea bass to a natural infection by the copepod parasite Lernanthropus kroyeri was evaluated for the first time in vivo and suggested that an equilibrium between the parasites and their hosts was reached in chronic infection.

Modulation of the innate immune response of rohu Labeo rohita (Hamilton) by experimental freshwater lice Argulus siamensis (Wilson) infection

The study indicated that A. siamensis infection modulated the immune system of rohu by suppressing the α-2M, serum complement activities and ceruloplasmin level and through induction of stress response.

Binding and lethal effect of complement from Oncorhynchus mykiss on Gyrodactylus derjavini (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea).

The antibody-independent plasma effect on the gyrodactylids are ascribed to the alternative complement pathway, and it is suggested that some carbohydrate epitopes on the parasites are involved in the C3 activation.

Rainbow trout leucocyte activity: influence on the ectoparasitic monogenean Gyrodactylus derjavini.

It is suggested that skin leucocytes contribute to an increased level of complement factors in the trout skin during the host response, whereby a hostile microenvironment for the parasites is created.

Killing of Gyrodactylus salaris (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea) mediated by host complement.

Observations suggest that killing is due to the complement system of the host, acting via the alternate pathway, and the role of complement in the protection of fishes against gyrodactylid infection therefore deserves further investigation.

Acquired cell-mediated protection in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, against the haemoflagellate, Cryptobia salmositica

Respiratory burst activity in stimulated macrophages (isolated from infected or vaccinated fish) was demonstrated by detection of released super-oxide anions, and the protein contents in these cells were determined after the cells were digested.

Immunization of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss against Discocotyle sagiffata (Monogenea).

Overall, a significant negative correlation was found between antibody titres and worm burdens, suggesting immunoglobulins are implicated in mediating partial immunity and cannot be excluded that antibodies could be involved in mediates the observed partial immunity.
