Tilapia Bacterial Diseases

First detection of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) associated with massive mortalities in farmed tilapia in Africa

“…Historically, bacterial infections were the major threat for the health of farmed tilapia (Plumb & Hanson, 2011). However, in recent years a number of viral diseases have emerged worldwide with devastating effects for the industry (Machimbirike et al, 2019).…”

Suppression of Streptococcosis and Modulation of the Gut Bacteriome in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by the Marine Sediment Bacteria Bacillus haynesii and Advenella mimigardefordensis

“…This fish is reported to be susceptible to different bacterial diseases (streptococcosis, motile Aeromonas septicemia, and francisellosis, etc.) ( 7 ), viral infections (by tilapia lake virus [TiLV], nervous necrosis virus [NNV], and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus [IPNV], etc.) ( 8 ), and parasitic diseases (monogeniasis and trichodiniasis, etc.)…”

A single exposure of sediment sulphate-reducing bacteria to oxytetracycline concentrations relevant to aquaculture enduringly disturbed their activity, abundance and community structure

“…With global trade volumes of about 60 million tonnes and a total value close to US$119 billion, aquaculture products are among the most traded food commodities worldwide. Indeed, this activity has expanded by almost 12-fold in the last three decades and is expected to become the fastest to environmental stress, diseases and parasitic infections (Amal and Zamri-Saad 2011;Ke et al 2011), oxytetracycline (OTC) and other tetracyclines are commonly added to tilapia feed to prevent and control infections caused by Streptococcus iniae, Aeromonas hydrophila, Flexibacter columnaris, Francisella spp., and other bacterial pathogens (Cabello 2004;Plumb and Hanson 2010).…”
