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.

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

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 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.

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 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 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...

The morphology, host range, life cycle, distribution and impact on fish production of Lernaea cyprinacea are covered in this chapter. Moreover, the diagnosis, clinical signs, macroscopic and microscopic lesions, physiopathology, host immune response and control and prevention (insecticides and...

The morphology, host range, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical signs, macroscopic and microscopic lesions, physiopathology and control and prevention of Argulus foliaceus are covered in this chapter.

This chapter covers the general biology and distribution (systematics, life cycle and epidemiology) of Anguillicoloides crassus. The diagnosis, macroscopic and microscopic lesions, pathobiology (mortality, condition, swimming performance and reproduction) and control and prevention (drug therapy,...
