Abstract
Tests were conducted to determine the efficiency of the photodynamic substance chlorophyllin to kill different life stages of the protozoan parasite Ichthyophthirius mulftifiliis (Fouquet) which causes the white spot disease in many freshwater fish species. This study has developed a new treatment for the control of ichthyophthiriosis, and demonstrated that non-toxic water-soluble chlorophyll (chlorophyllin) is a potential remedial agent at low concentrations for this serious parasitic disease.Entities:
