Hexamitiosis is a disease caused by the flagellated protozoan Hexamita that infects freshwater fish. It commonly causes hole-in-the-head disease in salmonids, cyprinids, and ornamental fish. Hexamita is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects fish when they are stressed or weakened. Clinical signs of infection include anorexia, emaciation, lesions on the skin or fins, and inflammation of internal organs. The parasite is transmitted orally or anally and spreads through water. Proper fish husbandry practices and treatments with drugs like dimetridazole, metronidazole, or furazolidone can help control hex

Parasitism:
It is defined as an intimate and obligatory relationships between two heterospecific organisms during which the parasite, usually the smaller of the two partners is metabolically depended on the host.
Parasitology:
The term ‘parasitology’ is originated from Greek word- ‘Para’ means beside, ‘sitos’ means food and ‘logus’ means study.
It is the branch of science which deals with the study of the relationship between the parasite and host. This discipline includes several approaches to the study of parasitic organisms such as phylogeny, morphology, ecology, life history, physiology, chaemotherapy, serology, immunology and bio chemistry.
Fish parasitology:
It is the branch of science that deals with the study of parasite of fishes. It includes the infection and disease of fish caused by parasite.

Life cycle of Protozoan parasite
fish parasite
parasitologyClinostomum compalanatum and Clinostomum marginatum are unsegmented flatworms of the class Trematoda and the order Digenea.
They are also called as yellow grub
They occur frequently in the skin and the muscle of the freshwater fish.
Small cream coloured nodules or cysts ranging from pinhead size up to 2.5 mm depending on their age
The number of cysts may vary from 1-100 or more than
They have an oval or round shape.
The skin of the fish in reaction to the infection produces the cysts, which contain worms.
It may take 3 weeks to make clearly visible cysts after the infection and 7 weeks to reach full size
There are many diseases of fish which can be troublesome to commercial producers as well as the recreational pond owner. Many disease outbreaks of captive fish stocks are associated with stressful conditions such as poor water quality, excessive crowding or inadequate nutrition.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Hexamitiosis is the one of the most important
disease caused by excessive parasitism of
flagellated protozoa called Hexamita(Spironucleus)
Fresh water hole-in-the-head syndrome or fresh
waster head and lateral line erosion (FHLLE)
generally occurred in salmonid group of fishes ,
cyprinids and ornamental fishes.
It is an opportunistic pathogen and attacks the fish
when it is weak rarely found in wild habitat more
in farmed fish
3.
4. 1. Hexamitiosis was transmitted by oral route.
2. The parasites may be transmitted by water to healthy farm.
3. Anal route plays role in transmission of the disease in the case of free swimming
flagellated forms of the parasites.
4. Parasites found in the intestinal tract & under stress, the reproduction of
parasites increase and lead to disease.
5. Lesions on skin (especially the head), or at the base of the fins and near
the lateral line act as route of infection especially in tropical aquarium fishes
5. 1. Malnutrition (especially vitamin B deficiency).
2. Over crowding , improper handling and shipping.
3. Physiological disturbance of healthy fish for any reasons
.
6. . Clinical signs of the disease in natural
infections include anorexia, emaciation,
weight loss, weakness, whirling, listlessness,
abdominal distension, anaemia, faecal
pseudocasts, pale stringy faeces, a red vent,
exophthalmia and dark coloration Fish
In angel fish and cichlids they are found to be
pitting in the head.
7. Infected aquarium tropical fish may have yellow mucus in their intestines,
enteritis and enlarged and inflamed gall bladder. In systemic infections, the
stomach of fish may be perforated, with chronic inflammations in internal organs,
atrophy of renal tubules and necrosis of the kidney.
Fish with hole-in-the-head disease have small hole-like lesions on the body surface
which produce yellow, cheesy strings of mucus. In some fish (e.g. angelfish), these
lesions may be confined to the head region, occasionally extending posteriorly
along the lateral line. Gross pathologies include haemorrhaging in internal
organs, splenomegaly, nodules in the liver deformed (globulated) spleen and
granulomatous lesions in the spleen.
Systemic infection may occurred lead to swollen of liver with petechial
haemorrhages, ascites with blood clots in the visceral cavity. Also enlarged kidney
& gall bladder reported in infected fishes.
8. Hole in the head by Hexamita sp
Hexamita ( spironucleus )Infection at head
Enlargement of kidney,
spleen, gall bladder
9. : Trophozoites are commonly found in the lumen of the intestine, while cysts are
often not seen. Trophozoites of H. salmonis are usually in the upper intestine and
pyloric region, and they are also sometimes in the gall bladder and rectum .In
heavy infections they may occur throughout the intestinal tract trophozoites and
in the blood, gallbladder ,heart ,kidney, liver ,spleen, eye, brain, muscles,
mesentery and abdominal cavity. There are also reports of hexamitids in cranial
skeletal tissues and in pustules on the skin of infected cichlids.
pathogenic hexamitids secrete a histolytic enzyme(s) which is an important
contributing factor to the development of clinical symptoms in systemic
infection(e.g. anaemia, lesions) and fish mortality.
The secreted protease will allow the hexamitid to cause the anaemia, and will
produce lesions in internal organs and large ulcers on the body surface (of infected
fish
10. Hexamita (Spironucleus) [Zoomastigophorea, Diplomonadida] is 7–12 × 4–9 μm,
pear shaped or round, flagellate with 3 pairs of anterior flagellae and one pair of
posteriorly pointed flagellae. The taxonomic relationships (at the generic and
species levels) between parasites found in different hosts ar
Members of the order Diplomonadida have a double set of organelles and bilateral
symmetry and those that are known to cause disease in vertebrates include
Hexamita, Spironucleus, Octomitus and Giardia. There are three species of the
genus Hexamita have been described as pathogenic
protozoa to fishes. H. salmonis , H. truttae and H. intestinalis
Hexamita can live in rich organic waters or as intestinal parasites, while the
remaining three genera are all parasitic.
Hexamita has an elongated to spherical body and spherical nuclei, while a
pyriform body and elongated nuclei are characteristic of Spironucleus
13. :Live trophozoites of Hexamita and Spironucleus vary from elongated to nearly
spherical and the two genera are usually difficult to separate. The pyriform
trophozoites become more spherical before they divide. The lengths of live
organisms may reach 20 µm and the organisms have bilateral symmetry. Each
side has a nucleus and four flagella and this is the karyomastigont. Reproduce by
binary fission.
Trophozoites of hexamitids are usually found extracellularly in the lumen of the
intestine, in internal organs or in lesions on the body surface. The parasite is in
host cells in capillaries and sinusoids of the liver, spleen and head kidneys.
Infection is generally believed to occur via the ingestion of cysts or trophozoites;
however, the rectal route of infection.
In intestinal infections, cysts and trophozoites are normally voided with the faeces
14.
15. Hexamita salmonis has been reported in fishes in North America, Europe and
Asia. Hexamitids are presumed to have a very wide host range and geographical
distribution.
These parasites cause disease in wild, farmed and aquarium fishes in cold,
temperate and warm waters. They have been reported in Acipenseridae,
Anguillidae, Cyprinidae, Cyprinodontidae, Gadidae, Gasterosteidae, Mugilidae,
Percidae, Salmonidae, Siganidae and Sparidae.
H. salmonis or Spironucleus salmonis has been found in salmonids H. truttae has
been reported universal species of trout and ornamental fishes.
H. intestinalis infested many species of fish & other aquatic animals. Young fish
are more susceptible to disease.
16. Dimetridazole and metronidazole may be added to the feed and they are less
commonly delivered as bath treatments .
An antibacterial treatment (furazolidone), usually added to the feed, has been
used successfully to control hexamitids in the intestine and reduce fish mortality .
The nitroimidazoles (metronidazole 5mg/li for 3 hour , benzidazole, ronidazole
and secnidazole) completely eliminate intestinal H. salmonis infections in rainbow
trout, and some non-nitroimidazoles (albendazole, aminosidine,
diethylcarbamazine and nitroscanate) are just as effective.
Magnesium sulfate 0.2-0.3% in feed for 3 days proven effective.
Carbasone 0.2% for 3 days in feed effective kill the parasite.
Good management of fish farm and disinfet the bottom soil using lime.
