Abstract:
The current expansion of aquaculture production correlates with an increase in disease outbreaks, which has a detrimental impact on the productivity, economic success, and long-term viability of the worldwide aquaculture sector. Aeromonosis is one of the most prevalent infections in Asia that causes a high rate of mortality in cultured shrimp, fish, and shellfish. In this regard, vaccines have proven to be a successful pathogen-prevention measure to increase fish production. It has proven particularly effective to prevent infection by immunizing fish and stimulating their immune systems in aquaculture. For instance, monovalent and multivalent vaccinations have been created to protect fish against a number of bacterial infections. However, it would be challenging to create such preemptive techniques as rapidly as necessary when pathogens and infections occasionally appear. The aim of this review is to gather knowledge about bacterial pathogenesis, virulence factors, and diagnosis and to have a better understanding of various management strategies that have been employed in order to come up with a successful commercial vaccine for use in aquaculture.
