Abstract Lates calcarifer herpesvirus (LCHV) causes an emerging serious disease in aquaculture. Sudden drops in feed rates and mortality spikes exceeding 40%–50% often accompany LCHV infections in juvenile L. calcarifer, soon after transfer into sea cages.

Biosecurity: Reducing the burden of disease
Abstract The challenges and problems of managing good biosecurity are wide‐ranging and multifactorial with many compounding factors to pre‐dispose farmed stocks to an increased risk of infection with consequential stock losses. Many challenges are anthropogenic in origin and may be the result of the physical location (site) and/or the poor design of ...

Development of a Double-Antibody Sandwich ELISA for Rapid Detection of the MCP Antigen Concentration in Inactivated ISKNV Vaccines [PDF]
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) resulted in severe systemic diseases with high morbidity and mortality in Siniperca chuatsi. Vaccination is the primary method for effective prevention and control of these diseases. The development of inactivated ISKNV vaccines made some progress, but the technique of quality evaluation is scarce ...

Abstract Tilapia is an affordable protein source farmed in over 140 countries with the majority of production in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Intensification of tilapia farming has exacerbated losses caused by emerging and re‐emerging infectious diseases.

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.

Profitability Analysis of Small‐Scale Cage Aquaculture Farms in the Volta Lake of Ghana
In Ghana, aquaculture offers acceptable opportunities for generating income. Cage aquaculture has a lot of potential for growth in Lake Volta. In this region, cage aquaculture farmers perform aquaculture in a variety of ways that fall into three major groups: commercial, medium scale, and small scale.

Cloning of IRAK1 and its upregulation in symptomatic mandarin fish infected with ISKNV
Interleukin-1 receptor activated kinases (IRAKs) play crucial roles in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) mediated signal transduction pathways that control host innate immune responses. Here we report the cloning of an IRAK1 cDNA (named ScIRAK1) from the mandarin fish.

A Multiplexed, Tiled PCR Method for Rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing of Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus (ISKNV) in Tilapia. [PDF]
Tilapia farming is one of the most important sectors in aquaculture worldwide and of major importance to global food security. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) has been identified as an agent of high morbidity and mortality, threatening tilapia aquaculture. ISKNV was detected in Lake Volta, Ghana, in September 2018 and spread rapidly,

Evolution of DNA ligases of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses of eukaryotes: a case of hidden complexity [PDF]
Background Eukaryotic Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) encode most if not all of the enzymes involved in their DNA replication. It has been inferred that genes for these enzymes were already present in the last common ancestor of the NCLDV ...
