Hybridization and Immunology in Animals: A Review

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hybridization can reshape immune function by introducing novel genetic variation and combining parental immune traits. Across animal taxa, this process may influence resistance, tolerance, and pathogen dynamics, with important implications for disease ecology and One Health.

A Review of Phage Therapy for Aquaculture Applications: Efficacy, Health Ramifications and Research Challenges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 300-312, March 2026.
Bacteriophage therapy is characterised by numerous advantages, facilitating its diverse aquaculture application and efficacy as an antibiotic alternative mitigating the spread of antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens. Contributing to the modern reappraisal of the aquaculture application of bacteriophage therapy, challenges impeding its widespread ...

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 243-251, February 2026.
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Expanding Horizons in Phage Therapy: Addressing Antibiotic Resistance in Aquaculture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has emerged as a cornerstone of global food security, yet its rapid intensification has precipitated widespread bacterial disease outbreaks and escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This review critically examines the limitations of conventional antibiotic use in aquaculture, highlighting regulatory inconsistencies ...

Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Heavy Metal Contamination in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): A Public Health Risk Assessment in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species‐specific 16S‐23S ITS and antibiotic resistance IntI, blaCTX‐M, blaTEM and blaSHV genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, and most of the isolates were multidrug‐resistant. Target hazard quotient values of Fe for >1 revealed a higher level of hazard index. Target cancer risk values of Fe exceeded the recommended value (<10−4).

Immunogenic proteins and their vaccine development potential evaluation in outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Flavobacterium columnare

Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2016
Flavobacterium columnare is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes columnaris disease in freshwater fish worldwide. Many studies have focused on the identification of protective antigens to aid in the development of novel vaccines against the disease.

Metabarcoding Reveals a Potentially Undescribed Columnaris‐Causing Bacterium in Peracute Skin Disease of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Columnaris‐causing bacteria (CCB) represent a group of four Flavobacterium species, previously classified under Flavobacterium columnaris, causing a threatening condition in salmonid farming characterised by cutaneous and gill lesions, commonly referred to as ‘saddleback disease’. A peracute skin disease outbreak with high mortality in rainbow

IgT Plays a Predominant Role in the Antibacterial Immunity of Rainbow Trout Olfactory Organs

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The olfactory organs (OOs) of vertebrates play important roles in their extraordinary chemosensory capacity, a process during which they are continuously exposed to environmental pathogens.
