The global tilapia farming industry is facing challenges due to tilapia parvovirus (TiPV), an emerging viral pathogen affecting cultured tilapia populations worldwide. It causes mass mortality in tilapia and high economic loss. Hence, an effective treatment is needed to control TiPV infection. Quercetin is one of the polyphenolic flavonoid compounds found in many natural products and could effectively inhibit various aquatic v...

The main aim of the current study was to clone and express a new outer membrane protein (OMP) and haemolysin ( hly ) from a pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila and to investigate their potential as a vaccine candidate against A. hydrophila infection in Rohu ( Labeo rohita ). The OMP and hly genes were cloned in pET‐30b vector and recombinant plasmids pET‐30b‐OMP and pET‐30b‐ hly were constructed, which were then transferred into E...

Five novel permanent cell lines have been established from gill, heart, kidney, eye and fin of snubnose pompano, Trachinotus blochii . They were designated as snubnose pompano gill (SPG), snubnose pompano heart (SPH), snubnose pompano kidney (SPK), snubnose pompano eye (SPE) and snubnose pompano fin (SPF), respectively. All these cell lines were characterized and cryopreserved successfully at different passage levels. Cell lin...

Tilapia lake virus (TiLV)‐suspected samples of tilapia were collected from grow‐out ponds located with clinical signs and mortality ranged from 5% to 50%. The reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) assay revealed the presence of TiLV in the disease outbreak ponds. Cell lines were developed from heart, gill and eye of Mozambique tilapia and characterized. Morphologically, these cell lines are composed of epith...
