Viral Disease Histopathology in Aquaculture Finfish: Organ‐Specific Pathological Changes and Diagnostic Insights, Referencing the World Organisation for Animal Health: A Review

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry faces significant challenges from viral diseases, many of which are listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as priority pathogens due to their impact on global finfish health and production. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the histopathology of key WOAH‐listed viral pathogens, including ...

The impact of pooling samples on surveillance sensitivity for the megalocytivirus Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus [PDF]

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019
Movements of large volumes and species varieties make the ornamental fish industry a high-risk pathway for the transfer of aquatic pathogens to new geographical regions and naïve hosts, potentially resulting in emergency disease events. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (genus Megalocytivirus) is considered exotic to Australia despite ...

Characterization and Antibody Preparation of the Gene Products of Grouper Iridovirus ORF5L

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the family Iridoviridae and genus Ranavirus. It consists of 139,793 base pairs (bp) and 120 open reading frames (ORFs). GIV is a key pathogen of farmed fish worldwide. The functional roles of viral genes must be determined for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral ...

Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) samples help to investigate transcriptomic responses in wildlife disease

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

The Future of Pathogen Detection in Aquaculture: Miniature Labs, Field‐Compatible Assays, environmental DNA and RNA, CRISPR and Metatranscriptomics

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Inland recirculating aquaculture is a thriving food industry providing sustainable and locally sourced high‐quality protein. However, its expansion is accompanied by emerging challenges regarding the spread of pathogens and diseases. Detection and management of pathogens in aquaculture remain underdeveloped compared to other animal farming ...

The rise of the opportunists: What are the drivers of the increase in infectious diseases caused by environmental and commensal bacteria?

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 1787-1797, September 2024.
Abstract The aquaculture sector is currently experiencing a global disease crisis. Emerging bacterial diseases—often opportunistic or syndromic—have collapsed production in nations across the world. Losses in the shrimp industry associated with opportunistic Vibrio spp. exceed 40% of global capacity.
