Dans quatorze cas de mycose viscérale mortelle de poissons dulçaquicoles d’ornement, les lésions kystiques du foie et de la rate, ainsi que les manifestations cliniques de la maladie, ressemblent à celles de l’ichthyophonose. Le microorganisme responsable a pu être cultivé ; son identification à Ichthyophonus hoferi est discutée.
Abstract
Fourteen cases of a systemic mycosis in ornamental fresh-water tropical fishes are recorded. Clinical signs, cystic lesions in the liver and spleen, recall those of an infection by the fungus Ichthyophonus, or Ichthyosporidium hoferi. The possibility that the fresh-water fishes’ parasite might be of a different species is discussed. Morphological aspects of the yeast-like fungus in culture are described.
