AbstractThis study reports on the anatomy and structural details of the feeding apparatus and associated glands in a tropical fish ectoparasite, Argulus siamensis Wilson, 1926. The results reveal that anatomically the feeding apparatus of the species consists of a proximal buccal proboscis and a retractile pre-oral spine surrounded by a sheath. The mouth is located at the terminal end of the buccal proboscis. Two types of glands, the spinal gland and the proboscis gland, are associated with the feeding apparatus. The sac-like spinal gland, consisting of four polygonal cells, is located at the base of the spine. It is continuous with the median duct of the spine but does not show any connection with the buccal cavity. Numerous secretory vesicles are present in the cytoplasm. The proboscis glands are located parallel to the spinal sheath, one on both sides, and open directly into the buccal proboscis. Each proboscis gland houses two giant cells, the cytoplasm of which is largely occupied by secretory vesicles. The present study, aimed at understanding the functional relation of the glandular secretions with the feeding mechanism, revealed that the secretion of the spinal gland is neither cytotoxic nor haemorrhagic, but may have anaesthetic or vasodilatory activity. Indications are available to show that the secretion of the proboscis gland is anticoagulant in nature.

AbstractArgulusspp. are important ectoparasites of fish, and the current approach of their control using chemical pesticides has numerous drawbacks. Vaccination is a promising alternative but identification of protective antigens is a limiting step. The ribosomal protein P0, essential for protein synthesis, has been studied as a vaccine candidate. We generated sequence information of the P0 protein of the ectoparasiteArgulus siamensisand the hostLabeo rohita. The region of the parasite P0 protein with less sequence similarity with that of the host P0 protein and high predicted antigenicity was used for peptide synthesis. The peptide was conjugated with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) for immunization of rohu at a dose of 1.5 μg/g body weight. Dot blot assays confirmed production of antibodies against pP0-KLH in immunized fish. We evaluated the efficiency of pP0-KLH as a vaccine antigen by challenge of the immunized fish withA.siamensis. Although there was no significant difference in parasite load between both groups, a reduced and delayed mortality of 59% (15 days post-infection) in immunized group was noticed as compared to 75% mortality (within 7–15 days post-infection) in control group. The partial protection observed indicated the need for further optimization of this molecule to develop it into a vaccine candidate.
