商品簡介
For their colleagues involved in the commercial farming of fish and shrimp, biological scientists from universities and companies around the world survey some of the methods and findings of research into bacterial and viral diseases that affect the livestock. They review general features of bacterial and viral diseases of fish and the innate immune recognition of pathogens in telost fish, and present case studies of two fish a one shrimp diseases. Then they describe platform technologies used to study pathogens, such as genomics and proteomics, and molecular immunity studies; and current trends in disease control such as molecular diagnostic tests in the field, and immunotherapy and vaccine development.
