Saprolegnia spp. Defined Saprolegnia Life Cycle Saprolegniasis In Amphibians Clinical Signs of Saprolegniasis Amphibian Die-offs Treatments? Human Concerns? WHAT IS SAPROLEGNIASIS Saprolegniasis (pronounced Sap-ro-leg-ni-ah ) is term used to describe infection caused by Saprolegnia spp. A disease caused by oomceytes or water moulds that infect the skin, gills, and eggs of fish and aquatic amphibians. It commonly affects newts, mudpuppies, aquatic frogs, and tadpoles. It s found EVERYWHERE in freshwater and soil. 1
2 SAPROLENGIA: WATER MOLD OOMCEYTE Produce a motile sexual biflagellate spore called hyphae. Sporangia can germinate directly to produce germ tubes or indirectly to produce zoospores, a trait which is often temperature dependent, with zoospores being produced at cooler temperatures. SAPROLEGNIA CONTINUED Visible as white or gray patches of filamentous mycelium Characterized by an external, cotton-like appearance that radiates out in a circular, crescentshaped or whorled pattern. SAPROLEGNIA LIFE CYCLE 2
3 SAPROLEGNIA IN AMPHIBIANS Saprolegnia are found in three situations when concerning amphibians: 1. Saproglenia only invade dead or unfertilized eggs as part of their normal process. 2. May opportunistically or readily cause secondary infections in damaged eggs or in compromised amphibian adults. 3. May at times be considered a primary pathogen to amphibian eggs. 1. INVASION OF AMPHIBIAN EGGS Affected eggs appear to have a thin layer of white fuzz over the surface. 2. INVASION OF COMPROMISED AMPHIBIAN ADULTS Clinical signs include the external appearance of fungal colonies that appear fluffy or cottonlike in texture Ulcerated skin may be visible as small circular area that can spread to internal organs. Infections generally affect the tail, hindlimbs, gills, and oral mucous membranes 3
4 3. PRIMARY PATHOGEN OF FISH AND AMPHIBIAN EGGS Very common in hatchery fish. Fish stocked in lakes are common carriers of Saprolegnia. Kiesecker et al. (2001b) performed experiments to determine if rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) can be a vector for transferring Saprolegnia to populations of boreal toads (Bufo boreas). CLINICAL SIGNS OF SAPROLEGNIA Other signs of saprolegniasis include lethargy, difficulty breathing, lack of appetite, and weight loss. Sores on the skin that do not heal may occur as the infection progresses. Salamanders have exhibited anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, and respiratory distress. Death has occurred from osmoregulatory impairment in severe cases. AMPHIBIAN DIE-OFFS ON THE RISE It can cause significant mortality in amphibian communal egg masses, even up to complete loss of reproductive effort (Blaustein et al., 1994). It affects some species more than others, and can therefore disrupt competitive interactions (Kiesecker and Blaustein, 1999). Saprolegnia has been found on dead amphibian larvae after mass mortality events (Bragg & Bragg 1958). Increases mortality of injured adults and tadpole deaths, however it is often an underlying causal factor to a traumatic injury or after an infectious agent has set in. Some amphibian populations experience extensive die-off events caused by saprolegniasis, disease events do not seem to exacerbate natural breeding population fluctuations (Gahl 2007). Research suggests mortality of post-embryonic amphibians contributes significantly to population declines (Biek et al. 2002). 4
5 TREATMENT OPTIONS? Bath treatment with antifungal agents such as benzalkonium chloride, copper sulfate, or potassium permanganate Natural defense against fungal infections are mucous production and skin sloughing makes it hard for spores to attach. HUMAN HEALTH CONCERNS No human health concerns associated with Saprolegnia Obama s appetite for frog legs may be wiping out frogs though.
