Streptococcosis and motile Aeromonad septicemia (MAS) are the main bacterial diseases in tilapia culture worldwide, causing significant economic losses. Vaccination is an effective method of preventing diseases and contributes to economic sustainability. This study investigated the immuno-protective efficacy of a newly developed feed-based bivalent vaccine against streptococcosis and MAS in red hybrid tilapia.

This study compares the pathogenicity of the different spp. that were previously isolated from freshwater fish with signs of MAS.

- A high mortality rate was noted in red hybrid tilapias in Selangor, Malaysia, in January 2020, with affected fish showing symptoms like lethargy, loss of appetite, and hemorrhagic skin.
- Histopathological examinations revealed kidney and brain issues alongside the presence of Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV), identified through isolation and molecular analysis.
- The TiLV strain found was closely related to a Malaysian strain from 2019, indicating potential co-infections with bacteria, posing a significant risk to the tilapia farming industry.
