Establishment of Epidemiological Cut-Off Values and the Distribution of Resistance Genes in and Isolated from Aquatic Animals.

The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is an enormous challenge to public health. and are opportunistic pathogens in fish. They exert tremendous adverse effects on aquaculture production, owing to their acquired antibiotic resistance.

Antiparasitic potential of ethanolic extracts of Carpesii Fructus against Miamiensis avidus in hirame natural embryo cell line and their effects on immune response- and biotransformation-related genes.

Scuticociliatosis, caused by Miamiensis avidus, is a severe parasitic disease affecting marine organisms, particularly Paralichthys olivaceus. The aim of this study was to assess the antiparasitic potential of ethanolic extracts of Carpesii Fructus (EECF), the dried fruit of Carpesium abrotanoides L., which is used in traditional Chinese medicine, in vitro.

Development of a high-dose vaccine formulation for prevention of megalocytivirus infection in rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus).

A formalin-inactivated red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) vaccine was prepared using the culture supernatant of a persistently infected Pagrus major fin cell line (PI-PMF) with IVS-1 strain (RSIV subtype II Meglaocytivirus). Rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) were injected with a high-dose, ultracentrifuged megalocytivirus vaccine (Ultra HSCMV, 7.0 × 10 copies/mL), a high-dose supernatant of cultured megalocytivirus vaccine (HSCMV, 1.

Normal diffusion-weighted MRI during the acute stage of central pontine myelinolysis.

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is rare demyelinating disorder characterized by loss of myelin in the center of the basis pontis. The clinical features of CPM vary depending on the involved areas. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is thought to be useful for early detection during the acute phase, but its utility in this context has not been investigated thoroughly.
