Bacterial Fish Pathogens

Disease of Farmed and Wild Fish

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This completely updated fifth edition of Bacterial Fish Pathogens is a comprehensive discussion of the biological aspects of the bacteria which cause disease in farmed and wild fish. Since the 4th edition was published in 2007, there has been an upturn in the application of molecular approaches to taxonomy, diagnosis and vaccine development. New pathogens, e.g. Aeromonas schubertii, have been described. Also, there has been the emergence of diseases caused by bacteria which have not been cultured, and which have been equated with new taxa, i.e. 'Candidatus'. Consideration is given to all the bacterial fish pathogens, including primary pathogens and opportunists.

Rezensionen

"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)
