Abstract

In two experiments with European eel (Anguilla anguilla L., 1758) the effects of flumequine (FQ), oxytetracycline (OTC) and furazolidone (FZ) on peripheral blood leucocytes were tested using measurements of differential white blood cell counts in blood smears, flow cytometry and respiratory burst activity of adherent cells. Results revealed that FQ and OTC affected (different) leucocyte populations, whereas no effect of FZ was detected in these experiments. These effects should be taken into account when drugs are registered for official approval in veterinary (fish) medicine.
