Effectiveness of different vaccine formulations against vibriosis caused by Vibrio vulnificus serovar E (biotype 2) in European eels Anguilla anguilla
2001
Vibriosis due to Vibrio vulnificus serovar E (biotype 2) is one of the main causes of mortality in European eels cultured in Europe. The main objective of this study was to develop a vaccine and a vaccination procedure against this pathogen. With this aim, we tested several vaccine formulations (inactivated whole-cells with and without toxoids‹inactivated extracellular products‹from capsulated and uncapsulated strains, attenuated live vaccines and purified lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) on eels maintained under controlled laboratory conditions using different delivery routes (injection and immersion). To study the immune response we estimated antibody titers and bactericidal/bacteriostatic activ…
Field testing of a vaccine against eel diseases caused by Vibrio vulnificus
2001
The field results of a vaccination programme against Vibrio vulnificus serovar E (biotype 2) in a Spanish eel farm are reported. A total of 9.5 million glass eels were vaccinated from January 1998 to March 2000 by prolonged immersion followed by 2 subsequent reimmunisations after 12 to 14 and 24 to 28 d, respectively. The acquired protection and the immune response against serovar E were estimated over a period of 6 mo after vaccination. A similar vaccination schedule was conducted with elvers in a Danish eel farm. In this case, the acquired protection and the immune response against serovar E and the new eel-pathogenic serovars, recently described in Denmark, were evaluated over a short te…
Vibriosis in aquaculture. 16th EAFP Conference, Tampere, Finland, 4th September 2013
2014
Aquaculture in brackish and marine water is growing worldwide (FAO, 2014), including new cultured species. Various Vibrio infections occur, and cause significant problems, in fish, crustacean and shellfish (Austin & Austin, 2007. Vibrio anguillarum, V. salmonicida, V. ordalii and V. vulnificus are among the pathogens that lead to the biggest losses in aquaculture all over the world (Toranzo et al. 2005, Sandlund et al., 2010; Sitjà-Bobadilla et al. 2014).
