abstract

lactococcus garvieae is the etiological agent of lactococcosis, an emerging disease which affects several fish species and causes important economic losses both in marine and freshwater aquaculture. lactococcosis usually happens when water temperature increases over 15°c during the year. normally, it causes a hyperacute and haemorrhagic septicemia in fish. this paper presents a procedure for producing experimental vaccine for rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) lactococcosis including aspects such as pathogen characterization, pathogenicity, mass cultivation, safety, potency and field trial tests for immersion use. in the potency test, after challenging the vaccinated fish with live pathogenic bacteria (1×107 bacteria per milliliter of immersing solution) and observing for 72 hours thereafter, 10% of fish died while the control group showed 60% mortality within the observation time. in the field trial from vaccination time onward till marketing of the fish, those mortalities that occurred in groups of vaccinated and non-vaccinated fish were recorded. total death occurred in the vaccinated group was 11%, while in non vaccinated group this number was approaching 23%. this observation indicates a 50% reduction in mortality in the vaccinated group. this is the first report on experimental vaccine against lactococcosis in fish that is produced and tested in iran.

Oral Vaccination Against Lactococcosis in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Using Sodium Alginate and Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) Carrier [1]

As an alternative immunization procedure against lactococcosis in rainbow trout, encapsulated antigens immobilized in sodium alginate (SA) and poly lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) polymers were administrated as a feed additive. Positive controls were intraperitoneally (IP) administered with aqueous-based bacterin (vaccine) while negative controls were not vaccinated. Positive control groups were im...

Molecular epidemiology of zoonotic streptococcosis/lactococcosis in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture in Iran

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Streptococcosis/lactococcosis is a hyperacute systemic disease that can occur in marine and fresh waters of many species of fish. The aim of this work was to study the disease outbreak in the major rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) production of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS 108 Gram positive cocci isolates were obtained from diseased trout in seven provinces with ma...

Subunit vaccine candidates against Aeromonas salmonicida in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is the etiological agent of furunculosis and a major fish health problem in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Injection vaccination with commercial mineral oil-adjuvanted bacterin vaccines has been partly successful in preventing the disease but in Danish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) aquaculture furunculosis outbreaks still occur. In this s...

Effects of Satureja bachtiarica and Nigella sativa essential oils on the efficacy of lactococcosis vaccine in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Lactococcosis has been defined as acute septicaemia, which causes economic losses in farmed fish, especially in rainbow trout. This study was done to evaluate the effects of Satureja bachtiarica and Nigella sativa essential oils on the efficacy of lactococcosis vaccine in rainbow trout. A total number of 270 fishes with a mean average of 120 g were obtained; they were randomly divided into nine...

Research Article: Adjuvant effect of Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extract on the efficacy of lactococcosis vaccine in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

This study aimed to assess the adjuvant effect of Montanide ™ ISA 763 AVG and Licorice extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) on the immune responses and disease resistance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) immunized with Formalin inactivated whole cells of Lactococcus garvieae vaccine. Rainbow trout with an average initial weight of 72±3 g were randomLy divided into four experimental treatments: no...
