This completely updated fifth edition of Bacterial Fish Pathogens
is a comprehensive discussion of the biological aspects of the
bacteria which cause disease in farmed and wild fish. Since the 4th
edition was published in 2007, there has been an upturn in the
application of molecular approaches to taxonomy, diagnosis and
vaccine development. New pathogens, e.g. Aeromonas schubertii, have
been described. Also, there has been the emergence of diseases
caused by bacteria which have not been cultured, and which have
been equated with new taxa, i.e. 'Candidatus'. Consideration is
given to all the bacterial fish pathogens, including primary
pathogens and opportunists.

This book puts emphasis on the isolation, taxonomy, diagnosis
(phenotypic, serology and molecular biology), epizootiology,
pathogenicity mechanisms, and methods of disease control (by
vaccination, immunostimulation, probiotics, prebiotics, plant
products, and antimicrobial compounds. Co-infections, which are
attributed to more than one microbial species have been discussed.
Shortcomings in knowledge have been highlighted. This sixth edition
is the successor to the original version, first published in 1987,
and which fills the need for an up-to-date comprehensive text on
the biological aspects of the bacterial taxa which cause disease in
finfish. The book is primarily targeted at researcher workers,
including postgraduate students, and diagnosticians. It is
anticipated that the readership will include veterinary
microbiologists, public health scientists and microbial ecologists.
