Stimulation of antioxidant enzymes levels in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) infected by Ptychobothrium sp. (Cestoda).
Increased antioxidant enzymatic activities were observed in carp parasitised by Ptychobothrium sp. when compared with healthy fish. This antioxidant response could contribute to neutralise the oxidative stress normally induced by parasitism.
