Descriptions of each disease includes name, structure, and composition of virus, classification and virus replication, epidemiology, pathology and immunity, diagnostic methods (gross pathology, histopathology, cell culture, PCR, sequencing, ELISA, etc.), and prevention and control. Those interested in fish viral diseases will find the book an excellent source for high quality illustrations of viral structure, diagrams of pathogenesis of diseases, and many images of gross pathology, and histopathology lesions, using the same format in all chapters to facilitate the reading and studying.
This second edition of the book covers all virus families and the specific diseases relevant to aquaculture with current information delivered in a systematic and succinct way to the researcher, teacher, student, diagnostic laboratory staff, clinical veterinarian, aquaculture disease practitioner, farmer, and all people with a general interest in viruses.
- Provides unique information on animal pathogens and viruses for aquaculture and fisheries
- Presents high quality illustrations of viral structure, diagrams of pathogenesis of diseases, gross pathology, and histopathology lesions to aid in understanding
- Incorporates all updated changes in taxonomy since the first edition
- Includes a new chapter on climate change and a new chapter on herpesviruses
- Describes all viruses in three major aquatic animals, fish, crustaceans, and mollusks
