Rapid Detection of Flavobacterium columnare Infection in Fish by Speciesspecific Polymerase Chain Reaction

Cajeput Melaleuca cajuputi extract supplementation in diets of Macrobrachium rosenbergii : Insight on the growth, immunological responses and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila

“…Although the species is moderately tolerant to disease (Hameed & Bonami, 2012), losses from disease outbreaks have been the major constraint to expansion and production under intensive farming systems (Apún‐Molina et al, 2017). Infectious agents capable of causing economic losses in the aquaculture industry are of diverse origins (Hamid et al, 2017; Patra et al, 2016; Ronneseth et al, 2017). In freshwater prawn farming, several authors have reported infections caused by bacteria (Babu et al, 2021; Biju et al, 2016; Gao et al, 2021).…”

Pathology of Flavobacterium sp. KG3 in Experimentally Challenged Ornamental Goldfish Carassius auratus (L.)

“…During the surveillance work on the winter diseases in 2014 and 2015 (November-February), increasing incidences of flavobacterial infection with mild to moderate mortalities were recorded in the cultured food fish and ornamental fish species from diverse localities of West Bengal, India (4,15,17). The surveillance results established that Flavobacterium spp.…”

“…Over the years, there are increasing incidences of flavobacterial infection in cultured Indian fish. Bacterial gill disease by F. branchiophilum in Indian major carps (12), F. columnare infection in Catla catla (13), Carassius auratus (14) and Labeo rohita, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Anabas testudineus (15), and infection by Flavobacterium spp. Sarker et al Pathology of Flavobacterium sp.…”

Isolation, Identification and Pathogenicity of Flavobacterium columnare SGM4 in Catfish Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus 1758)

“…Some strains of this bacterium are highly pathogenic and may cause disease in the absence of documented stress (2). Columnaris disease has been confirmed by molecular characterization of F. columnare in carps such as Catla catla (9), Labeo rohita and Ctenopharyngodon idella (10), goldfish Carassius auratus (11) and climbing perch Anabas testudineus (10) cultured in Indian conditions. The present study aimed at the characterization of F. columnare associated with the gill-rot of diseased Clarias batrachus by phenotypic and molecular means, and the pathogenic potential in C. batrachus fingerlings.…”
