About this document

Aphanomyces: Fish Parasite Study by david_physiology is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) Aphanomyces, a fungus typically known as a plant parasite, caused a serious outbreak infecting and killing multiple fish species in university aquariums. 2) The fungus caused a humped spinal curvature in infected fish as it developed in the dorsal musculature. Hyphae then protruded from lesions. 3) All infected fish succumbed within a week of lesions appearing, despite isolation and recovery of only Aphanomyces from lesions and hyphae, indicating it was solely responsible for the condition.
