Abstract

Diplostomum species are the parasites responsible for diplostomiasis in fish which may cause ocular diseases such as
blindness, eyefluke, severe ocular disease and opacity of the lens. The parasites use many organisms including fish as host.
African catfish is one of the widely distributed fish species in tropical Africa and has become one of the most important
culturable fish species in Africa especially in Nigeria. This study examined the occurrence of Diplostomum species in farm raised
African catfish in Oyo state. The study was carried out in Oyo State, Nigeria. A total of 216 eye samples were collected from 108
fishes in 36 farms. The eye lens and vitreous were examined for the presence of Diplostomum species. The data obtained were
analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to the relationship between the eye size and parasite occurrence.
The result shows that 16.20% of the samples had Diplostomum species. Males had higher occurrence (23.53%) than the females
(9.65%). A positive correlation (R2 = 0.125) between eye diameter and occurrence of the parasites was observed. The study
revealed that Diplostomum species was present at a low incidence in African catfish raised in Oyo state and there was positive
relationship between the eye diameter and occurrence of the parasite.

Abstract

Diplostomum türü parazitler, balıklarda körlük, şiddetli göz hastalığı, göz nezlesi ve lensin matlaşması gibi göz
problemlerinden sorumlu parazitlerdir. Afrika yayın balığı, Afrika’da özellikle Nijerya’da kültür balıkçığında yaygın bir şekilde
yetiştirilen en önemli tropikal balık türü olup Diplostomum türü parazitler bu balıkları konakçı olarak kullanırlar. Bu çalışma
Nijerya’nın Oyo Eyaletinde çiftlik şartlarında yetiştirilen yayın balıklarında (Clarias gariepinus) Diplostomum türü parazitinin
varlığını araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Toplam olarak 36 balık çiftliğinden temin edilen 108 balığa ait 216 adet göz araştırma
materyali olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma materyali olarak kullanılan gözlerden elde edilen lensler ve vitreous’lar Diplostomum
türleri varlığı açısından incelendi. Elde edilen verilerden göz boyutu ve parazit görülme oranı arasındaki ilişki regresyon analizi ile
istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Sonuç olarak araştırmada kullanılan örneklerin %16.20’sinde Diplostomum türü parazite
rastlandı. Cinsiyet olarak erkeklerde görülme oranı (%23.53), dişilerden (%9.65) fazla bulunmuştur. Göz çapı ve parazit görülme
oranı arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunmuştur (R2=0.125). Çalışmanın bulguları Oyo eyaletinde yetiştirilen Afrika yayın balıklarında
Diplostomum türü parazitlerin düşük düzeyde bulunduğu ve göz çapı ile parazit yoğunluğu arasında pozitif bir ilişkinin
bulunduğunu göstermiştir.
