Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kudoa septempunctata, a myxosporean parasite of olive flounder, causes foodborne diseases. We attempted to develop a rapid and simple method for detecting olive flounders infected with K. septempunctata using an immunochromatographic technique, in order to prevent foodborne illness caused by this parasite. The experimental immnuochromatographic kit developed in this study was able to detect olive flounders with more than 20,000 spores of K. septempunctata per 1 g of muscle tissue, although this kit showed a weak cross-reaction with olive flounder muscle tissue containing other Kudoa sp. spores.
