In vitro phagocytic study of blood leucocytes and peritoneal macrophages of walking catfish Clarias batrachus ( Ham.) against Aeromonas hydrophila and Escherichia coli.
In observation of in vitro phagocytic activity against Aeromonas hydrophila isolate 34k(a virulent form) and Escherichia coli (an avirulent bacteria) of neutrophil- andmonocyte-like cells of walking catfish Clarias batrachus showed phagocytosis.N eutrophils and monocytes phagocytized the avirulent form of bacterial isolate morethan the virulent one. Other blood leucocytes did not show phagocytosis. Peritonealmacrophage of the fish were separated by glycogen elicitation and the macrophages werebeing adhered on plastic cover slips for studying their in vitro phagocytic activity. Mostof the cells were alive after adherence and showed phagocytosis against the virulent andavirulent bacteria. The percent phagocytosis and phagocytic index were higher againstthe avirulent E. coli than the virulent A. hydrophila.
