Pathogenicity and virulence of Aeromonas schubertii in farmed Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) in Thailand

This study reports the presence of A. schubertii in Asian seabass and its association with significant mortality during a natural outbreak. The integration of experimental infection data, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry contributes to a comprehensive understanding of its pathogenicity and supports the development of effective control measures. Additionally, genome analysis and identification of virulence genes providing molecular insights into potential virulence mechanisms. These findings enhance our understanding of the organism's pathogenic mechanisms and provide insights for future diagnostics and disease management strategies.
