Acquired Protection of Tiger Puffer Takifugu rubripes against Infection with Heterobothrium okamotoi (Monogenea : Diclidophoridae)
- Biology
- 2005
It is suggested that a persistent infection induces protection against H. okamotoi, but the factors responsible for effective prevention against reinfection remain to be clarified.

Egg-laying of the Monogenean Heterobothrium okamotoi on Experimentally Infected Tiger Puffer Takifugu rubripes
- Biology
- 2005
In vivo egg-laying by the diclidophorid monogenean Heterobothrium okamotoi was studied in artificially infected tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes, and egg hatching rates increased to 90% or higher, irrespective of the number of eggs laid by parasites at different intensities of infection.
Diseases of cultured marine fishes caused by Platyhelminthes (Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda)
- BiologyParasitology
- 2014
Some cases are described that show how international trade in marine fish has resulted in the spread of hitherto unknown parasites into indigenous farmed and wild fish.
Role of cellular response in elimination of the monogenean Neoheterobothrium hirame in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus.
- BiologyDiseases of aquatic organisms
- 2005
The results of the present study suggest that flounder can eliminate N. hirame if they are fed sufficiently, and that the cellular response of the host fish destructed the parasite's posterior part embedded in the tissue, thereby eliminating the parasites.
Experiments on the Evaluation of the Blood Feeding of Heterobothrium okamotoi (Monogenea : Diclidophoridae)
- Biology
- 2005
The results show that the amount of blood increased as the parasite developed and that an adult fed 0.69±0.93μL of host blood for 12 h (=42μL/month).

Early Development of the Monogenean Heterobothrium okamotoi on the Gills of Tiger Puffer Takifugu rubripes
- Biology
- 2004
The results indicate that the growth of H. okamotoi on the gills of tiger puffer is closely associated with the increase in the number of clamp pairs and the intake of the host blood.
The population of on the gills of Sarotherodon galilaeus (Linnaeus, (Cichliformes: the impact of abiotic and biotic parameters
- Biology
- 2020
It was observed that the size of fish and host sex do not have any influence on parasitism infection, and this may help to improve strategies in aquaculture management, to reduce potential economic losses of S. galilaeus caused by parasitic infection.

Heterobothrium Infection of Cultured Tiger Puffer, Takifugu rubripes—Infection Experiments
- Biology
- 1997
One-year old tiger puffer fish infected with the monogenean, Heterobothrium okamotoi, by exposing oncomiracidia of the parasite showed anemia, as indicated by the decreased hematocrit value and hemoglobin content with the growth of parasites.
Heterobothrium Infection of Cultured Tiger Puffer, Takifugu rubripes—A Field Observation
- Biology
- 1997
The infection of cultured tiger puffer with the monogenean Heterobothrium okamotoi was monitored bimonthly from juvenile to marketable size for one year and a half and the parasite sometimes showed strikingly biased distribution on the gills.
Egg hatching of the monogenean Heterobothrium okamotoi, a gill parasite of cultured tiger puffer (Takifugu rubripes), with a descriptionof its oncomiracidium

The Heterobothrium okamotoi oncomiracidium could survive much longer than other monogenean larvae, with an average life span of 9.1 days, suggesting that it can retain its infectivity much longerthan othermonogeneans.

Infection methods using tiger puffer and H. okamotoi oncomiracidia were standardized in terms of exposure time, parasite age, and parasite concentration and CFSE-staining is suitable for the study of early stages of parasite settlement on the host fish.
