Abstract AR

تم عزل Tetrahymena pyriformis، لأول مرة في العراق، من أمهات السمكة الذهبية (Carassius auratus) و المولي الأسود (Poecilia sphenops)، الجورامي (Trichogaster rtichopterus) و ذنب السيف الأحمر (Xiphophorus helleri)، و Poecilia) Guppy reticulate و سمكة الأنجل (Pterophyllum scalare) و أمهات الكنائس (Hypostomus plecostomus)، التي تعاني من إفراط فرز المخاط، احتقان مساحات كبيرة على الجلد و سقوط خفيف للحراشف.

كان معدل نسبة الإصابة 100 % حيث كانت كل الأسماك مصابة.

لم يكن لرفع درجة حرارة الماء إلى 30-29 مº لمرة واحدة و إضافة المثيل الأزرق بتركيز 5 جزء بالمليون لمدة 24 ساعة تأثير في Tetrahymena pyriformis.

و كذلك كلوريد الصوديوم بتركيز 2 % لمدة دقيقة واحدة و دقيقيتين.

العلاج بواسطة NaCl بتركيز 1 % لمدة 20 دقيقة لثلاثة أيام على التوالي كان له أفضل النتائج.

Abstract EN

Tetrahymena pyriformis has been firstly isolated from brood Goldfish (Carassius auratus) Common, Fantail, Ryukin, Veiltail and Moor, Black molly (Poecilia sphenops), Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus), red Swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri), Guppy (Poecilia reticulata), deep Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) and brood Algae eater (Hypostomus plecostomus) in Iraq.

The infected fish suffered from mucus hypersecretion large hyperemic areas on the skin, and slight shedding of the scales.

The incidence percentage of infection was 100 %.

Rising water temperature was up to 29–30cْ for one time and methylene blue was at a concentration of 5 ppm for 24 hours.

Sodium chloride at a concentration of 2 % for one minute and two minutes has no obvious effect on Tetrahymena pyriformis.

Treatment with NaCl at the concentration of 1% for 20 minutes for three consecutive days achieved the best results.
