Reassortant viruses threatening fish aquaculture
Abstract Aquaculture provides more than half of fish destined for human consumption worldwide. In aquaculture, infectious diseases triggered by viruses are amongst the major cause of mortality of farmed fish. The cohabitation of different virus strains in the same geographical area opens the possibility to natural reassortment.

Protein cargo encapsulation by virus‐like particles: Strategies and applications
Examples of non‐enveloped virus‐like particles used for the encapsulation of heterologous proteins. Abstract Viruses and the recombinant protein cages assembled from their structural proteins, known as virus‐like particles (VLPs), have gained wide interest as tools in biotechnology and nanotechnology.

Abstract Mucosal surfaces constitute the main route of entry of pathogens into the host. In fish, these mucosal tissues include, among others, the gastrointestinal tract, the gills and the skin. However, knowledge about the mechanisms of regulation of immunity in these tissues is still scarce, being essential to generate a solid base that allows the ...

Improving tilapia biosecurity through a value chain approach
Abstract Tilapia aquaculture is a major source of animal protein, with global production reaching over 6 million tonnes in 2020. The rapid growth of the tilapia sector has led to a number of emerging disease threats and subsequent production losses. Risk analysis can provide a targeted approach for improving biosecurity in the tilapia sector.

Abstract Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a major threat to the productivity of the poultry industry due to morbidity, mortality, and immunosuppression that exacerbates secondary infections and reduces the efficacy of vaccination programs. Field strains of IBDV have a preferred tropism for chicken B cells, the majority of which reside in the ...

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious disease that causes significant economic loss in chickens. A cross‐sectional study was conducted in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh to determine the seroprevalence of IBD virus (IBDV) antibodies in backyard chickens and their association with different epidemiological risk factors. A total of
