A total of 26 Vibrio damsela strains were isolated in Denmark. Fifteen strains were isolated from the head kidney of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in aquaculture, eight were from organs of two stingrays (Dasyatis pastinaca) held in captivity, two were from organs and pathological material of a nurse shark (Orectolobus ornatus) held in captivity, and one was from the water in the aquarium ...

RT-PCR methods have been applied to the detection and sequencing of the glycoprotein gene of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), the rhabdovirus which causes viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) in farmed salmonid fish. Phylogenetic analysis of a 360 nt region of the glycoprotein gene from a range of marine and fresh water VHSV isolates identified three genogroups, I-III. Significantly...

Zoological Studies 38(2): 178-188. This paper describes the epizootiology of a disease of tilapia with clinical signs that include white nodules and microscopic granulomatous formations. D...

a disease outbreak occurred in june 2012 among mud loach cultured on pond farms in jangseong-gun, jeollanam-do, korea. mortality rates reached up to 1.2% in the farm per day. typical clinical signs were bleeding ulcer at the middle portion of head and haemorrhagic erosion of the operculum. based on biochemical characteristics, the causative bacterium isolated from diseased fish was identified a...

Vibrio anguillarum causes a fatal hemorrhagic septicemia in marine fish that leads to great economical losses in aquaculture world-wide. Vibrio anguillarum strain NB10 serotype O1 is a Gram-negative, motile, curved rod-shaped bacterium, isolated from a diseased fish on the Swedish coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, and is slightly halophilic. Strain NB10 is a virulent isolate that readily colonizes ...

R factors were detected in Vibrio anguillarum strains from vibrio-diseased freshwater fish, ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), in Japan. It was found that 65 out of the 68 random isolates from epidemics of vibrio disease in 1973 carried transferable drug resistance factors. The most common type determined resistance to sulfonamides, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline and belong to the f...

Mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease of freshwater and marine fish. In the present study, Mycobacterium fortuitum from a diseased gold fish, Carassius auratus was isolated and identified by biochemical and molecular (PCR) method. The isolate was found to be resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol and myoconda® a nanodrug combination of rifampicin, clarithromycin and clof...
