has been considered for a long time the only causal agent of lactococcosis. In recent years, different papers reported the involvement of other two bacterial species: and . A different host tropism has been described for these species where and are predominant species in fish and humans' infections, while in bovine.

- A specific type of regulatory B cells in newborns (nBreg) uses IL-10 to limit the production of IgM antibodies, which helps control the immune response after initial activation.
- *By analyzing these nBreg cells in fetal and neonatal intestines, researchers identified their antibody repertoire and demonstrated that they produce antibodies that react to various bacteria in the early microbiota.
- *This study suggests that nBreg populations are crucial for shaping the microbiome during early life by influencing bacterial diversity and metabolism.*
This study investigated the prevalence, morphology, molecular identification, and histopathological effects of larval tapeworms (plerocercoids) infecting the skeletal muscles of the Indian halibut (Psettodes erumei) collected from the coastal waters of the Arabian Gulf. Numerous oval or round blastocysts, measuring 13-26 mm, were found embedded within the muscular tissues of the Indian halibut, rendering the fish unsuitable for human consumption. Morphological and molecular analyses identified the plerocercoids as Dasyrhynchus giganteus (family Dasyrhynchidae), with an overall prevalence of 15.

Piscine lactococcosis is one of the significant threats in rainbow trout aquaculture due to its potential to cause severe economic losses through mortalities, reduced growth rates, and increased susceptibility to other pathogens. It poses challenges in disease management strategies, impacting the sustainability and profitability of rainbow trout farming.
