Antimicrobial resistance (AMR): A major challenge for the aquaculture industry in Bangladesh
Type: Brief
Irrational and inappropriate antimicrobial use (AMU) in aquaculture can lead to the emergence and persistence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogens, and the risk of transfer of AMR pathogens from aquaculture settings ...
Tilapia Disease Outbreak Investigation: reporting template
Type: Manual
Tilapia Disease Outbreak Investigation: Model template for gathering preliminary information about any reported case of unusual mortalities of farmed and/or wild tilapia in WorldFish program/partner/scaling countries
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 ...
Rapid visualization in the specific detection of Flavobacterium columnare, a causative agent of freshwater columnaris using a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay
Type: Journal Article
Flavobacterium columnare is the causative agent of columnaris, a serious disease affecting numerous freshwater fish species worldwide. Although several molecular protocols have been established to detect this pathogen, ...
Why antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture systems matters for the One Health approach
Type: Poster
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria change and become resistant to antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. The interconnected nature of agri-food systems means that AMR can spread, posing a ...
A New Concept for Rapid Genomic Detection of Fish Disease
Type: Video
In 2019, a WorldFish team, led by Dr. Jerome Delamare-Deboutteville, received a CGIAR Inspire Challenge award worth USD $100,000 to test a new concept for rapid detection and diagnosis of fish disease. The project's ...
Antibiotics usage practices in aquaculture in Bangladesh and their associated factors
Type: Journal Article
Background: Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in aquaculture can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess antibiotic usage in inland and coastal ...
Relationships between pond water and tilapia skin microbiomes in aquaculture ponds in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Intensification of fish farming practices is being driven by the demand for increased food production to support a rapidly growing global human population, particularly in lower-middle income countries. Intensification of ...
Potential risk factors associated with tilapia mortality in Egypt
Type: Conference Paper
The objective of this study was to identify potential risk factors associated with tilapia mortality in the largest producer governorates in order to conclude strategies for their control.
Quick protocol for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in aquatic animal species from aquaculture and fisheries
Type: Tool
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) happens when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are able to resist the inhibition or killing effects of medicines used to treat the infections they cause, making ...
