Article Synopsis
- The study investigated disease outbreaks in farmed Chicken Grunts in Taiwan, focusing on juvenile fish that exhibited symptoms like erratic swimming and emaciation.
- Researchers collected 50 fish from two farms, revealing significant mortality rates (19% and 24%), and identified gross lesions including cysts in various organs.
- The pathogen identified was Kudoa lutjanus, marking the first documented outbreak of this parasite in Chicken Grunts, which poses a warning for the aquaculture industry.
Golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii) is a carnivorous teleost cultured in the Asia-Pacific region. Fish culture in high densities and numbers results in disease outbreaks, causing huge economic losses. Here, we collected cultured golden pompanos from 2021 to 2022 and identified the pathogens isolated from the diseased fish.

Methods: HaCaT cells were treated with HSYA. Cell proliferation was detected by the cell counting kit-8 assay, and cell migration was measured using wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay.
Lactococcosis, caused by Lactococcus garvieae, is an acute hemorrhagic septicemia in fish recorded in marine and freshwater aquaculture during the summer months. In 2020-2021, several sea cage Pompano farms recorded sudden fish mortality events. Based on the results of phenotypic and biochemical tests, L.

Methods: Fifty children (aged 2 months to 2 years) with high altitude heart disease associated with severe PAH, who were continuously transferred to the Intensive Care Unit between January 2011 and October 2013, were randomly assigned to observation and control groups. The control group was given conventional treatment, while the observation group received oral sildenafil [1 mg/(kg .
