Histopathological and electron microscopical evaluation of pox disease in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Abstract

In this study, skin lesions were described as macroscopical, histopathological and electron microscopical findings in 2 year-old, 6 carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). In the tissue samples collected from focal grayish white skin lesions, epidermal hyperplasia, vacuolar degeneration and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were observed whilst, in electron microscopic examination; intracytoplasmic virus particles were encountered. As a result, it was concluded that the macroscobic and microscobic findings were found to be related to pox disease

Sazanlarda (Cyprinus carpio L.) çiçek hastalığının histopatolojik ve elektron mikroskobik değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Çalışmada, 2 yaşlı, 6 adet sazanda (Cyprinus carpio L.) gözlenen deri lezyonları makroskobik, histopatolojik ve elektron mikroskobik olarak değerlendirildi. Deride, boz beyaz fokal odaklar halinde gözlenen lezyonlardan alınan doku örneklerinde, epidermal hiperplazi, vakuoler dejenerasyon ve intrasitoplazmik inklüzyon cisimciklerine rastlanırken, elektron mikroskobik incelenmesinde hücre içi virus partiküllerine rastlandı. Gözlenen makroskobik ve mikroskobik bulguların, çiçek hastalığına bağlı olarak şekillendiği sonucuna varıldı
