Comparative study on Aeromonas veronii isolates as disease agent in farmed European seabass: development of autogenus vaccines for the prevention of the disease

Abstract

The object of the study was a bacterial disease affecting farmed European seabass caused by Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria. The disease affects farmed sea bass weighing> 50 g on fish farms in the Aegean Sea, mainly in the west. It occurs in temperature > 21-22oC, while the outbreaks occur mainly in the summer months. The cumulative mortality can reach up to 80% of the farmed population. The current study concerns an emerging pathology for seabass fish farming and was initially considered a local, individual case. The pathology and epidemiological features of the disease were studied. Pathogen diversity was studied with molecular (16S rRNA and gyrB) and biochemical (Biolog and API20E) tools. As part of the work, a genus-based detection protocol was developed. The infectivity of the pathogen was tested in vivo, with experimental infections in healthy seabass and zebrafish and in vitro, on a blood agar medium. The genomes of representative strains were sequenced, and the phylogenetic relati ...
