The studies are out there for velvet. I can't pull them right now, but from memory the gills began clearing without hours of treatment. I've posted many of the findings in earlier posts here or different threads. With a search, many of your questions are answered. We seem to be reinventing the wheel.
There may be direct binding and cellular uptake there by affecting the lysosomes and endosomes without a need for plasma levels within the fish. You are also assuming that the mechanism of action is the same. Not sure if that is the case. I have also read reports the the therapeutic index is quite wide in fish in an oral ingestion study, unlike humans.
Alzapro, do you have any experience using CP for brooklynella? I've read that due to brook being a ciliated parasite, same as velvet and ich, that it should be as effective.
