This chapter describes the epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, phylogenetics, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and control rhabdoviral haemorrhagic septicaemia in domestic and wild fishes.

This book chapter describes various aspects of microsporidiosis caused by Loma salmonae: diagnosis, life cycle, influence of water temperature, host range, geographic range, pathobiology and physiopathology, clinical pathology, control and prevention, and recommendations for future studies.

The Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is one of the most extensively studied and widely distributed viruses infecting marine and freshwater fishes. The geographical distribution; economic impacts of IPNV; diagnosis of the infection; pathology; pathophysiology; and the protective and...

This chapter describes Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) and European catfish virus (ECV), which belong to a group of emerging pathogens - all of which are relevant to fish health - for which understanding of their epizootiology is incomplete. EHNV and ECV belong to the genus Ranavirus ...

The geographical distribution; economic impacts; diagnosis of the infection; pathology; pathophysiology; and the protective and control strategies against Oncorhynchus masou virus and Cyprinid herpesvirus are discussed.

This article discusses the description of Largemouth bass viral disease (LMBV); mode of transmission; geographical distribution; impacts of LMBV on fish populations; diagnosis; pathology; pathophysiology; and protective and control strategies against LMBV.

Viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), also known as viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is a severe neuropathological disease caused by RNA viruses of the genus Betanodavirus (Family: Nodaviridae). This article discusses the infectious agents; geographical distribution, host range and transmission...

Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) is often a fatal haemorrhagic disease of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, and other fishes. It is caused by the Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), a rhabdovirus of the type species, Carp sprivivirus, in the genus Sprivivirus. The host range; geographic range; mode of...

This book chapter discusses the prevalence, geographical distribution, host range, disease transmission, diagnosis, clinical aspects, animal pathology, pathological lesions, pathophysiology, disease prevention, and control programmes against Neoparamoeba perurans in fishes.

This chapter gives an overview of the biology (life cycle, parasite stages, transmission and geographical distribution) and diagnosis of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, host physiopathology and immunity as well as treatment and prevention of infection.
