Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the pathogenic potential and antibiotic resistance of Vibrio alfacsensis, previously thought to be harmless in marine aquaculture.
  • The VA-1 strain, isolated from turbot aquaculture systems, showed it can cause systemic infection with symptoms and virulence similar to known Vibrio pathogens.
  • The findings emphasize the strain's significant antibiotic resistance and potential for genetic exchange, highlighting the importance of monitoring pathogens and exploring alternative treatments in aquaculture.

Vibrio mimicus (V. mimicus) is known to cause severe bacterial diseases with high mortality rates in fish, resulting in significant economic losses in the global aquaculture industry. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a safe and effective vaccine for protecting Carassius auratus (C.

Article Synopsis
  • Vibrio mimicus is a harmful bacterium affecting humans and aquatic animals, and there are limited commercial oral vaccines available to combat it.
  • In this study, researchers developed two strains of recombinant Lactobacillus casei (Lc-pPG-OmpK and Lc-pPG-OmpK-CTB) that serve as effective oral vaccines to stimulate immune responses in goldfish (Carassius auratus).
  • The results showed that fish fed with these vaccines had higher survival rates and improved immune functions compared to control groups, with Lc-pPG-OmpK-CTB demonstrating more effectiveness than Lc-pPG-OmpK.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how global warming affects the period of aestivation in adults, leading to economic losses.
  • Significant differences in gut microbiota were observed between aestivating and nonaestivating adults, highlighting certain phyla and genera as potential biomarkers.
  • Metabolomics analysis revealed unique metabolic pathways in aestivating individuals, with a notable increase in 5-hydroxytryptophan, suggesting links between gut microbiota, metabolites, and the process of aestivation.

With the aim to discover novel lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus strains from fish as potential probiotics to replace antibiotics in aquaculture, the present study was conducted to isolate lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus from intestinal tract of healthy crucian carp (Carassiu auratus) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and evaluate their resistance against Aeromonas veronii. Based on the evaluation of antibacterial activity and tolerance test, one strain of lactic acid bacteria (Weissella cibaria C-10) and one strain of Bacillus (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens T-5) with strong environmental stability were screened out. The safety evaluation showed that these two strains were non-toxic to crucian carp and were sensitive to most antibiotics.

Aeromonas veronii (A. veronii, AV) strains are emerging zoonotic and aquatic pathogens, yet we know very little about their genomics. This study aims to utilize comparative genomics to investigate the intraspecific genetic diversity, differences in virulence factors and evolutionary mechanisms of A.

and are common protozoan pathogens, which can pose health risks to people around the world and cause considerable economic losses. Although information on the seroprevalence of and in chickens can be found in China, knowledge on the infection of these two diseases in rural chickens, ducks, and geese is limited. Therefore, blood samples from 377 chickens, 268 ducks, and 379 geese were taken from rural areas in seven cities in northeastern China, and their seropositivity was analyzed by the indirect hemagglutination antibody (IHA) test with a cutoff titer of 1:64.

Technical framework for water environment simulation of contaminations is established based on visualization and a spatial environmental model is built. The main two contaminations, namely NH: -N and TP, are simulated on the platform of MapInfo and Delft3D in the Qiantang River at the low water period, to analyze its space-time diversity. For NH4+ -N, the measured values are 0.
