La BBC e una "ricostruzione" di come agisce un candiru' - a parte stringere le gambe credo che le riprese in acquario siano di un certo effetto
Visto che siamo in tema horror la puntata di pesci dal mondo non poteva che parlare di questo piccolo pescegatto amazzonico.
Il candiru' e' un piccolo pescegatto (lungo in media meno di una decina di centimetri) tristemente famoso per la sua capacita' di parassitare le branchie di pesci piu' grandi e come mostra la ricostruzione nel filmato anche l'uomo (pur se accidentalmente). Individua il bersaglio riuscendo a seguire against water over 'hot gills and installed thanks to the pectoral and dorsal spines are nourished by the blood of his victims. Obviously not being able to distinguish the target could well take another type of current hot ..
Actually 'most of the reports of stories of men are riding on the second or third hand and it seems that none of the scientific authors have never really seen it. Certainly this is not 'that there is to expect anything different, we are talking about areas where communication and medical facilities are scarce. Fortunately
Paulo Petry, an ichthyologist specializing in tropical fish, brought in 1997, some concrete evidence. Photos and detailed account of an operation surgery (endoscopic) to remove one of these pesciolini.Vi saving the pictures to not spoil the weekend.

Piu' prosaically, there is' another valuable lesson to be learned from this are preserved. In his article "Candiru: Urinophilic Catfish, Its Gift to Urology" John Herman explains how the Indians use a combination of extracts of local plants to cure this particular parasite. The same substances can be used in the treatment of other diseases such as kidney stones.
last note of the color worthy of publication of an article-joke "Fish-based security system for the South Pacific "or something where it was proposed to enter piranhas, electric eels and Candiru 'in a ditch dug around the house to stop the intruders.
The article signed with funny names of members of an imagination even more' unlikely institutions had been published as a joke on the website of the Community 'in the South Pacific. FishBase obviously have no sense of humor and saw that' even mentioned on the page for the species as references.
to serve as a warning to control two or more 'times what reads reference statement.
I managed to write the whole article without writing a single time the words "topical", even if they could massively increase the blog entries. How do I deserve this weekend!
