DeepDyve eBooks - A Colour Atlas of Salmonid Diseases

Chapter 1Introduction

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 1 –4

[Global production of Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout continues to increase, however, despite advances in prophylaxis and vaccines, disease outbreaks are one of the major limiting factors for the production of farmed fish worldwide. Infectious agents can increase rapidly in susceptible stocks,...

Chapter 2Functional Anatomy

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 5 –26

[The microscopic examination of stained sections and the ability to interpret the relationship between fine structure and function is essential. The recognition and interpretation of physiological and pathological processes requires a thorough understanding of normal tissue structure and...

Chapter 3Post-mortem Examination and the Recognition of Tissue Abnormalities

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 27 –31

[Necropsy is an essential part of an investigation of fish health of wild and farmed fish. Information on management practices and diet, detailed history of mortality, changes in fish behaviour, stock weight and length, management practices (recent or former transport, grading or treatments) as...

Chapter 4Pathology and Disease Diagnosis

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 33 –51

[A methodical approach is a prerequisite for an accurate diagnosis and requires a description of the tissue changes that occur following infectious and non-infectious conditions. Cells have a limited repertoire of morphological response to injury which is linked to biochemical mechanisms that...

Chapter 5Viral Diseases

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 53 –72

[Some viral diseases are prevented through vaccination but for many no vaccines are available hence infection is a major concern for farmed fish. Among salmonids, RNA viruses have the greatest ecological and socio-economic impact. Acute infections may lead to host death, or induce a more chronic...

Chapter 6Bacterial Diseases

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 73 –98

[Bacterial infections comprise true obligate and opportunistic facultative pathogens. The distinction between ‘primary’, ‘facultative’ or ‘opportunistic’ cannot be taken too strictly as the virulence of the agent will determine its ability to overcome the host defences. Bacterial diseases are...

Chapter 7Fungal and Related Oomycete Infections

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 99 –106

[The oomycetes (fungal-like) occur as primary and secondary agents of infection among wild and farmed salmonids in fresh and sea water. These infections can prove fatal, at least for farmed fish, if preventative measures are not undertaken. Molecular sequencing has improved our understanding of...

Chapter 8Protists

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 107 –121

[The Protists are a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms with a taxonomy that is under constant revision. Molecular studies show the group includes diverse and sometimes distantly related phyla that share relatively simple levels of organization that can be unicellular or multicellular, but...

Chapter 9Metazoa

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 123 –150

[Metazoa parasites are multicellular organisms where cells have differentiated into organised tissues and organs. These parasites may be found in all fish organ systems both in wild and in farmed salmonids, in fresh and sea water. Recently, parasites that would have been included as Protists are...

Chapter 10Production Diseases and Other Disorders

Bruno, David W.; Noguera, Patricia A.; Poppe, Trygve T.

Pages: 151 –178

[Production related diseases and disorders cover a large area that the authors believe deserves increased attention, although for some areas we cannot cover the subject in great depth. These refer to a wide range of conditions that may or not be attributed to a biological agent with examples...
