Motile aeromonads are an opportunistic and heterogenic bacteria that cause motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS) which is accompanied with variety of clinical signs and lesions in fish. It has been found that their outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are highly immunogenic and may be used as a vaccine candidate. The present study was undertaken to evaluate...

Aquaculture provides an excellent resource of animal protein of high nutritional value, and thus impacts favourably on food security. At present, one of the concurrent problems concerns the occurrence of diseases that results in significant economic lossesEconomic loss globally of almost $9 billion USD per year. Thus, reducing the impact of disease...
