The effect of various Aeromonas bestiarum vaccines on non-specific immune parameters and protection of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Immune Response of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to Selected Antigens of Yersinia ruckeri

“…In this study, total Ig levels in the FKC and Ag-O injected group were significantly different (p < 0.05) than in the control group. The results are similar to those obtained in previous studies (Anderson et al 1979;Estevez et al 1994;Kozinska and Guz 2004).…”

“…A significant increase in the phagocytic index (PI) was observed in vaccinated fish 30 days immunization. These results confirmed the previous investigations with Vibrio damsela and Pasteurella piscicida (Santarem and Figueras 1995), Aeromonas hydrophila (Kozinska and Antychowicz 2001;Irianto et al 2003), Aeromonas bestiarum (Kozinska and Guz 2004), Photobacterium damsela and Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida (Figueras et al 1997).…”

Comparison of molecular and biochemical heterogeneity of Yersinia ruckeri strains isolated from Turkey and the USA

“…These proteins have been used as epidemiological markers for animal pathogens (Barenkamp et al, 1981). Since LPS and outer membrane proteins (OMPs) have immunogenic properties (Hirst and Ellis, 1994;Kozinska and Guz, 2004), it is important to determine the virulent and avirulent strains based on OMP and LPS profiles. In the present study, we aimed to determine the LPS and outer membrane protein profiles of different strains and to compare them with PFGE and other biochemical tests.…”

The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide of Aeromonas bestiarum strain 207

“…1 In fish, the clinical manifestations range from red spots and ulcers on the body to more severe diseases including soft tissue infections, haemorrhagic septicaemia, motile aeromonad septicaemia (MAS) or motile aeromonad infection. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas caviae are associated with gastrointestinal diseases in adults, and acute gastroenteritis in children, 1,6 although more severe illnesses such as wound infections, meningitis, endocarditis and septicaemia have also been reported. 1,2,6 The varied clinical picture of Aeromonas infections suggests that the pathogenic mechanisms are multifactorial.…”

“…11 Aeromonas bestiarum is a member of the bacterial species belonging to the motile aeromonad group that comprises several species such as A. hydrophila, Aeromonas sobria, Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas allosaccharophila and Aeromonas jandaei, which have been reported as fish pathogens. 3,5,7 The results of taxonomic studies revealed that diseases, and thus losses, in commercial carp farmed in Poland were mostly caused by strains identified as A. bestiarum. 5,7 However, until now there has been limited knowledge of the compositional diversity of the O-antigenic part of LPS among Aeromonas species, especially those isolated in Polish aquacultures.…”
