Treatments • 39m
Professor Roy Yanong's (Florida University) presentation at the E-Aquarium Conference 2021. The aquarium fish hobby is a global industry comprised of hundreds of freshwater and marine fish species originating from farms and wild-capture fisheries world-wide. With so many species mixing and traveling through a variety of channels prior to reaching their end market, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are not unexpected. Advances in fish disease diagnostics; increased awareness and surveillance; and enhanced research into pathogenesis and management help inform prevention, mitigation, and treatment. Important emerging and re-emerging ornamental fish diseases to be discussed include Megalocytiviral infections; several bacterial diseases including Edwardsiellosis, Francisellosis, and Erysipelothrix spp. infection; as well as the recently described “fungal” disease, Tetra Disseminated Microsporidiosis. General clinical and pathological findings as well as potential management strategies will be covered.
