چکیده

from the winter 2002 to spring 2006, 126 moribund rainbow trout with clinical signs of external body haemorrhages around and within the oral cavity were sampled from 10 rainbow trout farms situated in the northwest and west of fars province, iran and examined for the detection and identification of yersinia ruckeri, the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease. fish kidneys were cultured aseptically on brain heart infusion (bhi) agar plates and incubated at 25ºc for 48 h. using conventional biochemical tests, y. ruckeri was detected in 7 fish (5.5% of total fish sampled). this was also confirmed using specific polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay. the 16s rdna pcr assays produced amplicons of 409 bp when applied to y. ruckeri isolates as well as a reference strain. results of antibiogram tests on y. ruckeri isolates showed a high susceptibility to enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, trimethoprim and oxytetracycline. in pathogenicity tests, dilution of 4 × 108 colony forming unit/ml of y. ruckeri by immersion route in challenge experiments showed 70 ± 8.2% mortality during 14 days post-infection. experimentally infected fish showed typical haemorrhages in mouth, blackening of skin, exophthalmia and a wide haemorrhages on the internal organs.

Yersinia ruckeri, the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease in fish

Enteric redmouth disease (ERM) is a serious septicemic bacterial disease of salmonid fish species. It is caused by Yersinia ruckeri, a Gram-negative rod-shaped enterobacterium. It has a wide host range, broad geographical distribution, and causes significant economic losses in the fish aquaculture industry. The disease gets its name from the subcutaneous hemorrhages, it can cause at the corners...

Interactions of virulent and avirulent Yersinia ruckeri strains with isolated gill arches and intestinal explants of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Yersinia ruckeri is the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease leading to significant losses in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Little information is available on the pathogenesis of this disease. Basic steps in the establishment of an infection include attachment to the epithelium followed by invasion at the portal of entry. In this study, the interactions of Y. ruckeri with the gills and...

Oil adjuvant elevates protection of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following injection vaccination against Yersinia ruckeri

Enteric redmouth disease (ERM) caused by the fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri is a major threat to freshwater production of rainbow trout throughout all life stages. Injection vaccination of rainbow trout against Y. ruckeri infection has been shown to confer better protection compared to the traditionally applied immersion vaccination. It may be hypothesized, based on experience from other vaccin...

Detection of Yersinia ruckeri in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry tissues, using bacterial culture, simple PCR and nested PCR

In this study the efficacy of bacterial culture, simple PCR and nested-PCR techniques for the detection of Yersinia ruckeri in tissues of naturally and experimentally infected rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry was compared. In order to detect Y. ruckeri in naturally infected rainbow trout tissues, 30 fish suspected of enteric redmouth disease were randomly collected from 6 rainbow trout f...

Distribution and Molecular identification of some causative agents of streptococcosis isolated from farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) in Iran

Over the past few years, the syndrome of streptococcosis has been associated with outbreaks in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) and caused significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry in Iran. The main purpose of this work was molecular identification of some causative agents of streptococcosis in rainbow trout. A total of 520 samples were collected from the head kidney o...
