Leave the <strong>in</strong>fected ponds or tanks empty for one day or more. Prevent wild fish or amphibians come <strong>in</strong>to theponds or quarant<strong>in</strong>e newly arrive fish before stock. Raise water temperature 1-2 o C may kill trophozo<strong>in</strong>ts.Trichod<strong>in</strong>osisThe causative agents <strong>of</strong> this disease are Trichod<strong>in</strong>ids which is ciliate protozoa found on sk<strong>in</strong> and gills. Theseparasites look like saucer or bell shape disk from lateral view with suck<strong>in</strong>g on ventral size. Dorsal view showsround shape. Multiply by b<strong>in</strong>ary fission. They feed on bacteria. Infested fish show abnormal coloration, sluggishand lost weight.TreatmentFormal<strong>in</strong> at the concentrations <strong>of</strong> 25-50 ppm for 24 hours.TetrahymeniasisThis is the disease <strong>of</strong> freshwater fish especially guppy. The causative agent <strong>of</strong> this disease is Tetrahymena sp.,which is oval shape ciliate protozoa, size 30-50 micrometers with 30-40 rows <strong>of</strong> cilia through the whole cell.Cytostome found at anterior part <strong>of</strong> the cell with row <strong>of</strong> cilia around it. There are one macro and one micronucleus. Reproduce by b<strong>in</strong>ary fission, Infested fish show white patch on the body with some focal necrosis andhemorrhagic lesions. Some <strong>in</strong>fested fish may develop scales protruded.Good management is the best prevention methods as there is no chemical treatment available.Bacterial DiseasesThere are many bacterial diseases that cause severe problem <strong>in</strong> fish culture, such as motile aeromonassepticaemia, streptococcosis, vibriosis, mycobacteriosis etc.Motile Aeromonad SepticaemiaThe causative agents <strong>of</strong> this disease are Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria and A. caviaeThese bacteria had been found <strong>in</strong> healthy or diseased fish and aquatic environment. The isolation <strong>of</strong> thesebacteria might serve as a water pollution <strong>in</strong>dicator.Cl<strong>in</strong>ical signs <strong>of</strong> this disease are petechiae hemorrhagic lesions, congestion, ulceration, ascitic fluid <strong>in</strong> cl<strong>in</strong>icaldropsy, abdom<strong>in</strong>al swell<strong>in</strong>g, tissue necrosis, and f<strong>in</strong>/ tail rot.Motile Aeromonas septicaemia disease may occur under stressful conditions such as crowd<strong>in</strong>g and low waterquality. The confirmation <strong>of</strong> this disease is the isolation <strong>of</strong> Aeromonas bacteria from <strong>in</strong>fected fish. Aeromonas cangrow on most general purpose medium. However, R.S. medium is a selective media for this genus.The characteristic <strong>of</strong> Aeromonas are as follow:• -active motility with a s<strong>in</strong>gle polar flagellum• -produce gas and acid from carbohydrates• -gram negative, short rod 0.5 x 1.0-1.5 micrometers• -aerobic and facultative anaerobic58
