Beschreibung
This book puts emphasis on the isolation, taxonomy, diagnosis (phenotypic, serology and molecular biology), epizootiology, pathogenicity mechanisms, and methods of disease control (by vaccination, immunostimulation, probiotics, prebiotics, plant products, and antimicrobial compounds. Co-infections, which are attributed to more than one microbial species have been discussed. Shortcomings in knowledge have been highlighted. This sixth edition is the successor to the original version, first published in 1987, and which fills the need for an up-to-date comprehensive text on the biological aspects of the bacterial taxa which cause disease in finfish.
The book is primarily targeted at researcher workers, including postgraduate students, and diagnosticians. It is anticipated that the readership will include veterinary microbiologists, public health scientists and microbial ecologists.

“The purpose is to provide up-to-date information on emerging technology available for pathogen identification in farm-raised fish. … This book clearly meets their objectives in defining and describing the bacterial pathogens of fish. The audience is aquatic microbiologists. Any investigator could learn and immediately use the techniques described in this book. … This book presents updates on the exploding technology available for pathogen identification.” (Dennis D. French, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
