Vaccination Reduces Shedding of Salmonid Alphavirus Subtype 3, but Bacterial Co‐Infection Influences the Effect

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waterborne horizontal transmission of viral diseases in fish relies on the release of infectious virus particles (termed shedding) into the aquatic environment. Both the rate and duration of shedding are critical for efficient viral spread, making interventions that reduce shedding valuable for disease control.

An international study on emerging arboviral infections and blood safety

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging and re‐emerging arboviral infections are a risk to blood safety. We conducted an international survey on how blood establishments respond to current and future arbovirus threats. Study Design and Methods A questionnaire on arbovirus donor deferral strategies, pathogen reduction, and donation screening was distributed to ...

Decoding the Black Box of Fish Vaccines Efficacy in Basic and Applied Contexts

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccines are the frontline defense in aquaculture, yet predicting their real‐world performance remains a tricky puzzle. Unlike terrestrial veterinary vaccines, fish vaccines largely operate through “Black Box” processes, where we observe the outcomes but rarely understand the underlying immune mechanisms. Laboratory trials, though informative,
