Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Histology sampling guide
Type: Tool
During investigation of an abnormal mortality event, fish tissues (or biopsies) for histopathology analysis are collected for disease diagnosis.
Histology consists in the preparation of thin, stained tissue sections for ...
Experimental infection reveals transmission of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) from tilapia broodstock to their reproductive organs and fertilized eggs
Type: Journal Article
Early developmental stages of tilapia, including fertilized eggs were tested positive for TiLV in a previous study. We, therefore, hypothesized that infected broodstock is able to pass the virus to their reproductive organs ...
Evidence for action: a One Health learning platform on interventions to tackle antimicrobial resistance
Type: Journal Article
Improving evidence for action is crucial to tackle antimicrobial resistance. The number of interventions for antimicrobial resistance is increasing but current research has major limitations in terms of efforts, methods, ...
Aquatic Animal Health Package of Practices: Fish epidemiology and health economics
Type: Tool
The absence of accurate baseline data on fish health and production, farm management practices, disease occurrence and mortalities, and the economic value of disease-related losses hampers disease control efforts by farmers ...
Aquatic Animal Health Package of Practices: Syndromic surveillance and disease outbreak characterization
Type: Tool
WorldFish has developed a package of practices for syndromic surveillance and disease outbreak investigation. It contains all the necessary resources for building the awareness and capacity of relevant actors in aquatic ...
Tilapia lake virus: putting a global resource at risk
Type: Poster
Tilapia lake virus is a newly emerging virus that is associated with significant mortalities in farmed tilapia. With cases reported across Africa, Asia and South America, the virus represents a huge risk to the global ...
