Fish are a source of high-quality protein with low cholesterol, but they are susceptible to parasitic infections, which have a significant impact on aquaculture, in addition to their zoonotic potential. The present study estimated parasitic infections and evaluated the diversity of zoonotic ...

Nile tilapia is the most commercially important fish in Chiapas as well as in other parts of the world. An understanding of parasite infection dynamics in tilapia may assist in applying proper prophylactic measures for reducing the loss of fish caused by parasitic diseases. Different environments...

This study describes the prevalence of common diseases and pathogens of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus in nursing farms in the Mekong delta, Vietnam, and identifies the preventive husbandry measures in use by these farms and their association with diseases. In a first study, farmers of 63 randomly...

Co-infections can affect the transmission of a pathogen within a population and the pathogen's virulence, ultimately affecting the disease's dynamics. In addition, co-infections can potentially affect the host's immunological responses, clinical outcomes, survival, and disease control efficacy....

Several zoonoses, including rare human diseases, can be transmitted by primates, exotic rodents, lagomorphs and carnivores, marsupials, bats, fish, amphibians and reptiles which are held in households as companion animals. Over the past few years, the interest in wild animals as pets has increased...

The aim this study was to assess the health status of fish, especially brown trout (Salmo trutta), in waters where severe decrease of brown trout catches had been observed. Over the course of one year, 116 brown trout, 22 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), eleven European chubs (Squalius cephalus...
