<FlashCard questions="4">
|q1=What is the common name of this parasite (×20)?
|a1=
The fish louse.
|l1=
|q2=What is its genus?
|a2=
''Argulus''.
|l2=
|q3=How does it feed?
|a3=
This parasite feeds by piercing the skin with its sharp stylet (visible along the ventral midline of the animal) and then sucking up body fluids with its mouth parts.
|l3=
|q4=What are the major clinical concerns with this parasite?
|a4=
Although a light ''Argulus'' infection is rarely fatal, the parasites irritate the skin, making the fish stressed and uncomfortable.
A heavy fish louse infestation may allow opportunistic pathogens to infect the host, and fish lice are known directly to transmit
bacterial and viral diseases.
