Kudoa parasite identification, diagnostic development and histopathology in Striped Trumpeter (Latris lineata)

This data represents research conducted as part of a PhD project on Striped Trumpeter (Latris lineata). Recorded the prevalence of Kudoa neurophila (a myxozoan parasite formerly known as Pentacapsula neurophila) in relation to age for hatchery reared Striped Trumpeter using histology and PCR testing.Histology and in situ hybridisation techniques were incorporated into the study of the histopathology of the disease caused by this parasite to elucidate its entry point on the fish host and migratory pathway to terminal stage sporulation.

本数据集源自一项针对条纹突吻鲈（Striped Trumpeter，学名Latris lineata）开展的博士研究项目。该研究通过组织学与聚合酶链式反应（Polymerase Chain Reaction，PCR）检测，统计了孵化场养殖的条纹突吻鲈体内神经库道虫（Kudoa neurophila，一种曾被称为Pentacapsula neurophila的黏孢子虫）的感染率与宿主年龄的相关性。此外，研究还采用组织学与原位杂交（in situ hybridisation）技术，对该寄生虫引发的疾病开展组织病理学研究，以阐明该寄生虫在鱼类宿主上的入侵位点，以及其向终末孢子形成阶段迁移的路径。
