Observations on Tripartiella bursiformis, Trichodina nigra and a Pathogenic Trichodinid, Trichodina fultoni
1 Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Eastern Fish Disease Laboratory, Kearneysville, West Virginia 25430
A series of epizootics caused by Trichodina fultoni is reported. Fish kept in running water at 12°c showed severe signs of trichodiniasis. At 12°C T. fultoni lacked strict host specificity, but demonstrated some preference.
A redescription of Tripartiella burstformis, using the silver impregnated techniques, is given. This ciliate is reported from Acantharchus pomotis. Trichodina nigra is reported from the same host.
