Fish Diseases and Disorders: Volume 3: Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infections (Fish Diseases and Disorders)

Abstract This second edition of the book Fish Diseases and Disorders, Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infections volume 3 represents a major update on the viral, bacterial and oomycete disorders of finfish and shellfish. Since publication of the first edition (in 1999), considerable advances have been made and therefore all the chapters have been thoroughly revised. The new and more eloquent research and current techniques have extended our knowledge and understanding of these infectious organisms. Researchers from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia have been involved in updating this book. With the addition of new information, some of the older texts in the original chapters have been condensed; this is to ensure a more focused and comprehensive reviews. For this edition, deletion and/or combination a couple of the original chapters, have been made and added three new chapters (Chapter 6 on 'Alphaviruses', Chapter 7 on 'Oncogenic Viruses' and Chapter 21 on 'Genomics of Finfish and Shellfish Microbial Pathogens'), which have been written by new authors. There are 22 new authors who have offered to write new chapters and/or update many of the original chapters. The aims, philosophy, focus, audience and format of this second edition have remained unchanged, and the authors hoped that this edition will continue to be useful to colleagues.

Topics covered include infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, infectious hematopoiectic necrosis virus, viral diseases of cold- and warm-water fish, rickettsial and chlamydial infections, furunculosis, motile aeromonads, vibriosis, flavobacterial diseases and shellfish diseases. Written by experts in each discipline and updated throughout to reflect new developments in the field, including new chapters on alphaviruses, oncogenic viruses and genomics and proteomics, this is a must-have reference for fish health specialists and veterinarians, microbiologists, zoologists and researchers, and students in aquaculture. Annotation. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on parasites that cause disease in fish. Its primary objective is to produce a comprehensive and authoritative review from experts who are actively working in the area or have contributed to the understanding of diseases/disorders. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of three new chapters and four of the original chapters have new authors. All other chapters have been thoroughly updated since the first edition was published in 1995. This book will be of significant interest to researchers and students of aquaculture, fisheries, parasitology and veterinary medicine This third and final volume in the acclaimed "Fish Diseases and Disorders" trilogy addresses infectious diseases of finfish and shellfish caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi.
