Stable and quantitative small-scale laboratory propagation of Cryptocaryon irritans
We established a laboratory propagation method of Cryptocaryon irritans, a parasitic ciliate of marine fishes, with black molly Poecilia sp. as host fish, using small plastic aquaria. One cycle of the propagation usually takes one week. With this method, 1500–3000 protomonts are obtained from five c...
