| Infected fish shows signs of dark body coloration and/or accentuated coloring, whirling motion, emaciation, fin and tail rot. Also signs of secondary bacterial infection is exhibited. The spores can block the internal organ preventing their normal function. Ref. 45600 cited symptoms of locomotory disturbances, accompamied by emaciation, and sunken eyes in brain infection (Dykova et al. 1986), anaemia and haemorrhagic dropsy. Cardiac infection is another complication in acute stage of the infection. |
| Sporozoa-infections in most cases is incurable. The infected fish should be remove in the aquarium as soon as possible. If infected area is still small (any part of the body), treatment is possible by bathing the fish 3 times a day in a strong Methylene Blue solution (1gm/100ml.). Also Acetarson, Amprollium or Fumacillin treatment has been suggested but it doesn’t claimed to have a curing effect but rather infection was reduced. |
