Effect Of Different Prepared Antigens Of Pseudomonas fluorescens On Specific And Non-Specific Immune Response Of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The current work aimed to study four different prepared Ps. fluorescensantigens (formalin killed bacterin, extracellular product (ECP) suspension, sonicated cells (SC) suspension and mixture of ECP and SC suspension) to ...
Efficacy and safety of boric acid as a preventive treatment against Saprolegnia infection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Saprolegniosis is a worldwide fungal-like infection affecting freshwater fishes and their eggs. Reports show high mortalities and subsequent economic losses annually from Saprolegnia infections. Most therapeutants against ...
Attenuated virulence of pigment-producing mutant of Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria in HeLa cells and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Aeromonas species are potential water/foodborne pathogens, whereas Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria is one of the most virulent species to human and fish. Most current experimental evidence has publicized that suicide plasmid ...
Effect of some immunostimulants as feed additives on the survival and growth performance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and their response to artificial infection
Type: Journal Article
Four plant based immunostimulants (Echinacea purpurea 0.25 and 1.0 ppt, Allium sativum 3 %, Nigella sativa 3% and Origanum marjorana 2 and 3% and mixture of Allium sativum , Nigella sativa 3:1, 1:3 and 3:3%, respectively ...
Trials to improve the response of Orechromis niloticus to Aeromonas hydrophila vaccine using immunostimulants (garlic, Echinacea) and probiotics (Organic Green and Vet-Yeast)
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture is a promising sector of fish industry in the world with about 80 million tones being produced annually. The development of aquaculture faced several constraints; among these are diseases constituting the ...
Identification of Tilapia Lake Virus in Egypt in Nile tilapia affected by 'summer mortality' syndrome
Type: Journal Article
Egyptian fish farms have faced unexplained mortality of tilapia during the summer months in recent years. Epidemiological surveys indicated that 37% of fish farms were affected in 2015 with an average mortality rate of ...
Tilapia lake virus: a threat to the global tilapia industry?
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is a recently described virus affecting wild and farmedtilapines. At present, it has been reported on three continents (Asia, Africa andSouth America) and the number of countries where the agent ...
Detection of Tilapia Lake Virus in Egyptian fish farms experiencing high mortalities in 2015
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to detect potential pathogens in diseased tilapia that might account for the high summer mortalities observed in Egyptian fish farms. To this end, diseased fish were examined from eight farms in ...
The role of Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) in growth and immunity of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and its resistance to bacterial infection
Type: Journal Article
The current study was designed to optimize the dietary levels of Spirulina platensis in Oreochromis niloticus; this was tested via graded levels. Six isonitrogenous and isocaloric rations containing graded levels of dried ...
Vulnerabilities in aquatic animal production
Type: Journal Article
The role of aquatic animals in global food and nutrition security is increasingly recognised. The global demand for fish is increasing, leading to a need to significantly increase its supply. Securing future fish supplies ...
