| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Specialty: Fish Health and Aquaculture Pathology DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive veterinary textbook provides an authoritative examination of the most significant viral and bacterial pathogens affecting fish populations in both wild and aquaculture settings. The text delivers essential knowledge on the pathobiology, diagnosis, prevention, and control strategies for infectious diseases that pose serious threats to global fish health and aquaculture sustainability. With the aquaculture industry representing one of the fastest-growing food production sectors worldwide, understanding fish pathogen dynamics has never been more critical for veterinary professionals and aquatic health specialists. The book systematically explores the molecular mechanisms of fish immune responses, host-pathogen interactions, and the environmental factors that influence disease emergence and transmission. Readers will gain detailed insights into the most economically important viral diseases including viral hemorrhagic septicemia, infectious salmon anemia, and koi herpesvirus, alongside bacterial infections such as furunculosis, columnaris disease, and vibriosis. Each pathogen is examined through the lens of current research, incorporating advances in molecular diagnostics, vaccine development, and biosecurity protocols. Written by leading experts in aquatic animal health, this resource bridges the gap between fundamental pathobiology and practical disease management in commercial and ornamental fish operations. The text emphasizes evidence-based approaches to disease prevention, therapeutic interventions, and the implementation of health management programs that protect fish welfare while supporting sustainable aquaculture production. This essential reference equips veterinary professionals with the scientific foundation and practical tools needed to address the complex challenges of fish health in the 21st century. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of major viral pathogens including rhabdoviruses, herpesviruses, iridoviruses, and nodaviruses affecting freshwater and marine fish species • Detailed analysis of bacterial diseases caused by Aeromonas, Flavobacterium, Vibrio, Streptococcus, and Mycobacterium species with emphasis on pathogenesis and clinical manifestations • In-depth exploration of fish immune system function, innate and adaptive immunity, and immunological responses to infectious agents • Current diagnostic methodologies including molecular techniques, histopathology, bacteriology, and virology for accurate disease identification • Evidence-based prevention and control strategies encompassing vaccination programs, biosecurity measures, antimicrobial stewardship, and environmental management • Practical guidance on disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and regulatory considerations for aquaculture operations • Integration of recent research findings on emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change impacts on fish disease epidemiology TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Aquatic veterinarians and fish health specialists managing disease in aquaculture facilities and ornamental fish operations • Veterinary students and residents pursuing specialization in aquatic animal medicine and aquaculture health management • Aquaculture professionals, farm managers, and hatchery operators responsible for fish health monitoring and disease prevention programs • Research scientists and microbiologists investigating fish pathogens, host immunity, and infectious disease dynamics in aquatic ecosystems • Regulatory veterinarians and public health officials involved in aquatic animal health policy, disease surveillance, and food safety oversight INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$340.00 |
