Abstract:
The gross pathological and histopathological changes associated with parasitic infection in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla Linnaeus, 1758) was investigated. A total of 65 eels collected from three sampling localities in Eastern Delta, Egypt were examined over the period of January-May 2008. The fish were subjected to standard procedures for parasitological and pathological examinations. Overall, 22 (33.8\%) of the 65 fish examined were found to have parasitic infections. The eels harbored a total of six parasite species; among them, the nematode Anguillicoloides crassus was the most prevalent species (10.7\%), followed by the Monogenea Pseudodactylogyrus anguillae (7.7\%) and Dactylogyrus species (6.1\%), the ciliate Trichodinella epizootica (4.6\%), the Myxozoa Myxidium giardi (3.1\%), and the cestode Proteocephalus macrocephalus (1.5\%). Affected fish showed varying levels of tissue damage and pathological alterations including mild to severe degenerative, necrotic, and inflammatory changes in the affected organs.
