 Trichodina is one of the easiest protozoan parasites to detect under the microscope as it is almost perfectly round with hundreds of hooks which resemble cilia found its
periphery and it constantly rotates as it moves through the mucus, causing tissues damage.
It attacks both skin and gill tissues of our Koi, and can often cause more damage to gills than
realized.
Classed as a warm water parasite, it can survive for some time without a host. It causes vegetation of the skin giving rise to a grey white opaque appearance on the body of
infected Koi which exhibit the classic symptoms of flashing, rubbing and lethargy.
A magnification of 100 to 200 x is required to view this parasite.
Recommended treatments are
Potassium Permanganate. |
