High-throughput sequencing technologies, also known as next-generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies, have revolutionized the way that genomic research is advancing. In …

Flavobacterium columnare (F. columnare) is the causative agent of columnaris disease. This
bacterium affects both cultured and wild freshwater fish including many susceptible …

This book puts emphasis on the isolation, taxonomy, diagnosis (phenotypic, serology and
molecular biology), epizootiology, pathogenicity mechanisms, and methods of disease …

In recent years, with the advent of next-generation sequencing along with the development
of various bioinformatics tools, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq)-based transcriptome analysis …

Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for
global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that …

In this chapter, the current knowledge of mucosal immunity in fish skin is described. Skin is
considered the largest immunologically active organ in fish and is remarkably different from …

Previous studies have demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing and
transgenesis by integrating vector‐engineered antimicrobial peptide genes (AMGs) are …

Background Columnaris causes severe mortalities among many different wild and cultured
freshwater fish species, but understanding of host resistance is lacking. Catfish, the primary …

The mucosal immune system serves as the frontline barriers of host defense against
pathogen infection, especially for the fishes, which are living in the pathogen rich aquatic …

The mucosal surfaces of fish serve as the first line of defense against the myriad of aquatic
pathogens present in the aquatic environment. The immune repertoire functioning at these …
