          Abstract

          Abstract The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is a species of great economic importance for fish farming in the Brazilian Amazon, and acanthocephaliasis caused by Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Golvan 1956) represents an obstacle to its production due to it causing severe morphological damage to the intestinal mucosa, thus impairing the absorption of nutrients and causing weight loss in the fish. Therefore, the establishment of in vitro protocols for evaluation of anthelmintic drugs is the first step to development of effective measures for in vivo control of this endoparasite. The present study evaluated the in vitro survival of N. buttnerae maintained in Eagle’s minimum essential medium under different culture conditions. Three assays were carried out to evaluate whether temperature, supplementation with the antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin, and culture medium replacement or no replacement would influence the motility and morphology of the acanthocephalans. The results of the Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the use of culture in minimum essential medium together with penicillin and streptomycin prolonged the parasite’s survival when kept at temperatures of 24 °C or 28 °C. We describe herein for first time an alternative protocol that is ideal for the in vitro culture of N. buttnerae. As such, this protocol ensures greater reliability in further in vitro studies with N. buttnerae.

          Resumo O tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) é uma espécie de grande importância econômica para a piscicultura na Amazônia brasileira, e a acantocefalose causada por Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Golvan 1956) representa um obstáculo à sua produção por causar severos danos morfológicos à mucosa intestinal, prejudicando a absorção de nutrientes e causando perda de peso nos peixes. Assim, o estabelecimento de protocolos in vitro para avaliação de fármacos anti-helmínticos é o primeiro passo para o desenvolvimento de medidas eficazes de controle in vivo destes endoparasitas. O presente estudo avaliou a sobrevivência in vitro de N. buttnerae mantido em meio essencial mínimo de Eagle sob diferentes condições de cultivo. Três ensaios foram realizados para avaliar se a temperatura, a suplementação com os antibióticos penicilina e estreptomicina e a substituição ou não do meio nutriente influenciariam a motilidade e a morfologia dos acantocéfalos. Os resultados da análise de Kaplan-Meier indicaram que o uso do meio essencial mínimo suplementado com penicilina e estreptomicina prolongou a sobrevivência do parasito quando mantido em temperaturas de 24 °C ou 28 °C. Este estudo descreve pela primeira vez um protocolo alternativo que é ideal para o cultivo in vitro de N. buttnerae. Este protocolo garante maior confiabilidade em ensaios in vitro com N. buttnerae.

          Animal‐cell culture media: History, characteristics, and current issues

          Abstract Background Cell culture technology has spread prolifically within a century, a variety of culture media has been designed. This review goes through the history, characteristics and current issues of animal‐cell culture media. Methods A literature search was performed on PubMed and Google Scholar between 1880 and May 2016 using appropriate keywords. Results At the dawn of cell culture technology, the major components of media were naturally derived products such as serum. The field then gradually shifted to the use of chemical‐based synthetic media because naturally derived ingredients have their disadvantages such as large batch‐to‐batch variation. Today, industrially important cells can be cultured in synthetic media. Nevertheless, the combinations and concentrations of the components in these media remain to be optimized. In addition, serum‐containing media are still in general use in the field of basic research. In the fields of assisted reproductive technologies and regenerative medicine, some of the medium components are naturally derived in nearly all instances. Conclusions Further improvements of culture media are desirable, which will certainly contribute to a reduction in the experimental variation, enhance productivity among biopharmaceuticals, improve treatment outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies, and facilitate implementation and popularization of regenerative medicine.

            The impact of Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Golvan, 1956) (Eoacanthocephala: Neochinorhynchidae) outbreaks on productive and economic performance of the tambaqui Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818), reared in ponds

            ABSTRACT. This study evaluates the impact of Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae on the productive and economic performance of "tambaqui" reared in ponds. Two fish farms were selected, one with infected fish (IF) and the other with non-infected fish (NIF). Biometry, age, initial weight and handling data were collected from each studied specimen. Our results show that IF presented lower weight, evident loss of body mass and body deformities, reflecting on a condition factor 300% smaller than NIF. Infection by acanthocephalans caused an impact bigger than 200% on growth and affected the gross income directly, resulting in a difference higher than 1000% between IF and NIF farms. We conclude that this impact could be even greater if we consider both income decrease and raising production costs due to the parasite infection.
