Abstract
The aim of our work was to develop PCR test systems for the identification and differentiation of the Piscichlamydia salmonis and Clavochlamydia salmonicola, species, that are known epitheliocystis infection agents of gill and fish skin diseases, characterized by the presence of specific ‘inclusions’ in the epithelial cells of the gills. To date, the diseases of fish associated with chlamydial infections have been detected in more than 90 species of freshwater and marine fish worldwide. For now, there is no available information on the prevalence of Piscichlamydia salmonis and Clavochlamydia salmonicola, which can cause epitheliocystis of commercially important aquaculture species in Ukraine. Identification of these pathogens is possible only using molecular genetic methods. As a result of our research, we got PCR tests for the identification and species differentiation of Piscichlamydia salmonis and Clavochlamydia salmonicola. The use of diagnostics for the identification of Piscichlamydia salmonis and Clavochlamydia salmonicola makes chlamydial infections monitoring among various fish species possible and it will increase the economic efficiency of fish farms.
