Colostrum, the first postpartum secretion of the mammary gland, plays a vital role in the nutrition, development, and immunity of a newborn calf. We characterised the protein profile as milk transitions from colostrum to transition milk over the first 5 days of lactation, collecting samples on d0,...

In this study, the characteristics of a dominant strain wx3 isolated from the tissues of several sick red swamp crayfish were studied, and the immune response of the red swamp crayfish under stress was analyzed. The whole genome analysis of wx3 identified it as Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. ...

Pogostemon oil (PO) is a volatile oil extracted from Pogostemon cablin., a traditional Chinese medicinal plants. Clinical studies have confirmed that PO has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, but the resistance and protective mechanism of PO against Streptococcus agalactiae (SA) infection in...

Bacterial infection is one of the significant problems in fish farming that causes financial losses. With their anti-bacterial potential, metal-based nanoparticles are an innovative and successful disease control and prevention approach. It is hypothesized that zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized...

One of the largest challenges for the sustainable development of global aquaculture is the threat of infectious diseases. Preventative strategies that reduce antibiotic use are required to ensure fish health, minimise infectious diseases and subsequent pharmaceutical interventions. Recent...

Nocardia seriolae is a pathogenic bacterium that commonly infects largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), causing chronic wasting disease characterized by multiple nodules. The mechanism by which Vitamin D3 (VD3) can resist Nocardia seriolae (N. seriolae)infection is unknown, although VD3 has been ...

Non-Saccharomyces yeast such as Debaryomyces hansenii or its cell wall-components are emerging candidates for novel functional aquafeeds, as they contain several microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) that can activate and modulate the host's physiological responses, thereby improving fish...

Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (PDD) is a dangerous bacterial disease that affects silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) and its main virulence factors are pore-forming toxins. In this study, a highly pathogenic strain was obtained from naturally infected silver pomfret and was introduced into ...

Aeromonas veronii is one of the important pathogens causing motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS) in aquaculture, leading to high fish mortality and severe economic losses. Live attenuated vaccines are considered to be an effective method to control bacterial infections and have been widely used in...

The liver is one of the principle immune organs in fish, and involves lots of physiological processes. Pathological liver injury is a common symptom in fish farming caused by bacterial infection. Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) has been considered as a promising diet additive in aquaculture due to its ...
