Abstract

In March 2022, Leather carp (Cyprinus carpio nudus) raised in a pond continued to die with skin ulcers, and the diseased fish were taken to our Laboratory for diagnosis. Severe skin lesions such as petechial hemorrhage, abrasions and perforation were the main gross signs of the diseased fish. Histopathological examination revealed a cyst of Dermocystidium-like organisms in the subcutaneous layer. In addition, secondary or cross infection by different kinds of protistan parasites and bacterial organisms was suspected.
