 | | However Skin Flukes do differ from Gill Flukes in that Skin Flukes have a v-shaped head with no eyespots and are live-bearing, whilst Gill Flukes have a scalloped shaped head with distinct eyespots and are egg-laying. | | | This means that Skin Flukes not only infect the skin but affect the gills as well - whilst Gill Flukes not only infect the gills but infect the skin as well. | | | Dermocystidium is a disease that affects the skin of koi and can also be found on the gills, or fins or over the body of a host fish. |

| | The term gill fluke does not mean they are only to be found on the gill lamellae, they are just at home on the main body of the koi | | | The morphological difference between gill flukes and skin / body flukes is that gill flukes are oviparous meaning egg laying protozoa's, and because of the complexity of their life cycle are difficult to fully eradicate | | | Gill fluke are hermaphrodites meaning they possess both female and male reproductive sex organs, thus a pond devoid of all parasites (if such a thing can ever exist) that encounters a solitary fluke can soon, if conditions prevail for that fluke to thrive, be overrun with fluke. |

| | A skin scraping should be taken with a plastic coverslip from under the chin, between the gill covers. | | | Dactylogyrus seems to have no qualms about showing up in a skin scraping, and Gyrodactylus seems to have equal affinity for the gills. | | | They can attach with either structure, but most often we see them deeply hooked into the skin or gill, exploring the surface of the fish with the suctorian end. |

| | Using Your Microscope |
| | There are two potential problems that may be encountered when examining a skin or gill scrape. | | | I am assuming that initially the microscope is going to be used as as simple diagnostic aid to carry out procedures such as skin and gill examinations. | | | Taking and preparing a skin scrape involves using a blunt scraper, such as a wooden spatula, to gently take a sample of mucus from either immediately behind the gill cover, alongside the dorsal fin or the base of the tail. |

| | For situations where skin and gill ciliates or dinoflagellates may be a concern (or for those like the Author that suffered from a velvet epidemic which lasted several months, and that do not want to have such experience again), a week long temperature increase to 93 deg. | | | A careful observation of the conditions of the skin is one of the most important parameters for an effective monitoring and evaluation of the general health condition of the fish. | | | A similar approach may be followed for skin wounds, for which in addition an explanation for the cause should be found and corrected. |

| | Many hundred species are known, the most common groups being, Dactylogyrids (parasitising gills) and Gyrodactylids (parasitising gills, skin and fins). | | | Fish infested with Gill Fluke show signs of respiratory distress, rapid gill movement, hanging at the surface etc. Fish with Fluke infestation of skin and fins exhibit signs similar to external protozoal infestations such as small red spots on skins and fins and scraping on objects in the aquarium to relieve irritations. | | | Flukes can sometimes be seen with the naked eye as tiny pale worms 0.1 to 2mm in length, identification of the particular species is not important as treatment is the same for all flukes. |

| | * Flukes - (Aquarium): Definition |
| | Gill flukes may show with red, inflamed gills, but otherwise many fish flukes are micro scopic (some of the largest being just a few mm, but mostly smaller), and so confirmed diagnosis by physical appearence alone is not possible. | | | Symptoms: The fish scrapes itself against objects, rapid gill movement, mucus covering the gills or body, the gills or fins may be eaten away, the skin may become reddened. | | | Adding medication might be of value in some of these situations, but would be useless or could even worsen the others. |

| | Gill Flukes, Dactylogyrus |
| | Morphological differences between types of gill flukes found on various fishes are noteworthy for comparing effectiveness of medications and the host range of the species of parasite. | | | If gills of dead fish have decayed too badly the parasites will have moved on, but frozen samples of gill may show evidence of infection such as hook sets and cell debris consistent with having been a parasite in proximity of the hooks. | | | These parasites attach to the gills of the fish and feed on mucus, epithelial cells, and blood from the host, much of this material being produced by the fish in response to the physical injury incurred from the parasites. |

| | In particular, the now famous gill-withdrawal reflex, by which the tender Aplysia gill tissue is withdrawn from danger, was shown to be sensitive to both habituation and sensitization. | | | It was soon found that the neurotransmitter serotonin acting to produce the second messenger cAMP is involved in the molecular basis of sensitization of the gill-withdrawal reflex. | | | For example, the article Activity-dependent presynaptic facilitation and hebbian LTP are both required and interact during classical conditioning in Aplysia (Neuron. |

| | The popular name of this family is called "Flukes" and in fact they are skin or gill flukes, which attach themselves to the skin or gills of the fish, and thereby can cause a great deal of damage. | | | Although in Gyrodactylus the infestation is more typically found on the skin, it often will manifest itself by attacking the gills. | | | Gills will become massively parasitized and a smear or other examination of the gills should easily determine the cause of the infestation. |

| | Thankfully, the treatment for the skin fluke will also be effective against the gill fluke. | | | However, it is rare for a gill fluke problem to be an isolated infestation and usually occurs with an increase in other ectoparasites such as Chilodinella, Trichodina and Gyrodactylus which can be easily diagnosed with a skin scrape. | | | The gills are very appetising for parasites as they offer a constant source of food that is very accessible, with the gills having such a thin penetrable membrane separating the nutritious blood from water. |
