Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is a ciliated protozoan parasite and is known to infect many freshwater teleosts. Characterizing the immune system in epithelial tissues, where the parasites penetrate and settle, is key to understanding host–parasite interactions. This study examined local immune responsesin vivoto the infective stage (theront and trophont) of the parasites using intra-fin administration, which has been developed to analyzein vivoimmune responses using fish fin. CD8α+and CD4+T-cell compositions were increased significantly in the fin cavity injected with theront or trophont antigens. The expression of GATA-3 and T-bet mRNA, which regulate differentiation of helper T-cells, was upregulated significantly in leukocytes from the trophont antigen–injected site. In contrast, the percentages of macrophages and neutrophils, which are innate immunity components, were decreased significantly in the injection sites. These results suggest thatI. multifiliisantigens inhibit the migration of macrophages and neutrophils, and T-cells are the first responders toI. multifiliis. Thus, to better understand the interaction of host immunity andI. multifiliis, further studies should focus on exploring the inhibitory factors fromI. multifiliisor examining innate functions of teleost T-cells.
