Bacterial Aquaculture Pathology

Dear Colleagues,

Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food production sectors in the world. The economic benefits are limited by diverse issues such as known or emerging infectious diseases. Up-to-date knowledge about the infection mechanism, diagnosis tools or prevention/treatment are vital to reduce economic losses. Furthermore, research on diseases in their natural environment is vital for the exploitation of natural resources and identification of spread mechanisms.

The Special Issue is focused on sharing all research relating to bacterial diseases in any aquatic animals, in order to interconnect different views of the pathologies and contribute to improve aquaculture systems or the survival of wild animals.

We are pleased to invite you to collaborate with original research articles (basic and applied) or reviews in this Special Issue.
