First Isolation of Edwardsiella ictaluri from Cultured Striped Catfish Pangasius hypophthalmus in Indonesia

Microbiota of frozen Vietnamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) marketed in Belgium

Background: Vietnamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is highly appreciated in many European countries, the U.S., Canada, Japan etc. This paper presents an overview of the microbiota of frozen Vietnamese catfish products marketed in Belgium. Samples of Pangasius steaks, portions and fillets from six brands were collected from supermarkets located in Ghent, Belgium. Results: The total psychro...

Chronic saline exposures interfere with basal and induced immunity in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, Sauvage) exposed to virulent strain of Edwardsiella ictaluri

Hyperosmotic stress has often been investigated from osmoregulation perspectives while the effects of such stress on the immune capacity remain largely unexplored. In this study, stenohaline striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus were submitted to gradual hyperosmotic stress during 20 days up to 10 and 20 ppt. Hyperosmotic stress was followed by an infection with a highly virulent strain o...

Myxozoan pathogens in cultured Malaysian fishes. I. Myxozoan infections of the sutchi catfish Pangasius hypophthalmus in freshwater cage cultures.

Cage-cultured sutchi catfish Pangasius hypophthalmus (Sauvage, 1878), a favourite food fish in Southeast Asia, proved to be infected by 6 myxozoan species. Three species belonged to the genus Hennegoides (H. berlandi, H. malayensis, and H. pangasii), 1 to Henneguya (H. shariffi) and 2 to Myxobolus (M. baskai, and M. pangasii). Five myxozoans infected the gills and 1 was found on the spleen. Myx...

K plasmid - mediated tetracycline resistance in Edwardsiella ictaluri isolates from 1 diseased freshwater catfish in Vietnam

Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Edwardsiella ictaluri isolates from natural outbreaks of bacillary necrosis of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus in Vietnam.

The purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro susceptibility of 64 Vietnamese isolates of Edwardsiella ictaluri, the causal agent of the infectious disease Bacillus Necrosis Pangasius in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, using the agar dilution technique. All isolates originated from different farms and were collected between 2002 and 2005. None of the isolates displayed acquired resistance t...
