Bacterial Fish Diseases: Environmental and Economic Constraints

Bacterial Fish Diseases: Environmental and Economic Constraints, is a practical resource useful for researchers and academics to understand the nature and consequences of bacteria-related disease in fishes. It has in-depth information on the complete genome of various bacterial species and identifies an essential number of virulence genes that affect the pathogenic potential of the bacteria in fish. This book provides the most relevant information derived from the available bacterial genomes concerning virulence and on the diverse virulence factors that actively participate in host adherence, colonization and infection, including structural components, extracellular factors, secretion systems, iron acquisition and quorum sensing mechanisms. This reference is beneficial for understanding the economic losses due to bacterial pathogens in fish fauna and its impact on the economy and provides sufficient information with regard to good aquaculture practices, managing the aquaculture and fisheries sectors in scientific ways. It presents valuable various control methods and techniques of diseases in fish.
