摘要

Abstract

To identify the pathogen that causes scuticociliatosis in farmed-raised turbot

Scophthalmus maximus

we isolated a ciliate from the brain tissue of an infected turbot and identified it as

Uronema marinum

based on morphological and molecular evidence. We then infected the turbots in artificial laboratory settings with pure cultured

U. marinum

. The infected turbots showed syndromes similar to those observed in naturally infected ones. Furthermore

microscopic examination and PCR detection confirmed the presence of the ciliate in the tissues of those laboratory-infected turbots. To our best knowledge

this is the first report of scuticociliatosis caused by

U. marinum

in farm-raised turbot

S. maximus

in China.
