“…). Equally, AF‐positive organisms in fish tissue, while strongly indicative of a Mycobacterium species, could also be a Nocardia or even Rhodococcus species (Austin & Austin ), hence the need for isolation and identification of the organism.…”

“…Impression smears were made using a square (22 × 22 mm) glass cover slip dragged lightly over the target area and smeared onto a glass microscope slide or by direct impression of the lesion or organ onto a glass microscope slide at PME. These slides were ZN‐stained (Austin & Austin ) and viewed at 1000× magnification to identify AF rods.…”

These typically cause a chronically progressive disease in fish, which may take years to develop to clinical disease manifesting with non‐specific clinical signs (Austin & Austin ). These signs include dermal ulcerative lesions and haemorrhages, emaciation, lethargy, ascites, skeletal deformations, exophthalmos, altered buoyancy, behavioural and reproductive abnormalities and death (Astrofsky et al .…”

Disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is common in fish. Current recommendations focus on outbreak management by depopulating entire fish stocks and disinfecting tanks. Treatment is not advocated. Treatment may be appropriate, however, where individual, valuable fish are concerned. ZSL London Zoo managed an outbreak of mycobacteriosis in a valuable group of imported F1 captive-bred Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus fosteri) by depopulation, isolation, extensive testing and daily oral antibiotic treatment. Four species of Mycobacterium (M. marinum, M. fortuitum, M. chelonae and M. peregrinum) were involved in this outbreak, each with unique antibiotic sensitivities. Triple therapy with rifampicin, doxycycline and enrofloxacin for 8 months was the most effective antibiotic combination, resulting in full disease resolution. No side effects were noted and, more than 18 months post-treatment, no recurrence had occurred. This is the first report of mycobacterial disease in lungfish and the first report of a polymycobacterial outbreak in fish involving these four species of Mycobacterium. This report demonstrates the value of extensive isolation and identification. Also, as therapies currently advised in standard texts did not reflect the antibiotic sensitivity of the NTM found in the fish reported here, we recommend that antibiotic treatment should always be based on sensitivity testing.

“…Although efficacious vaccines for the control of yersiniosis are commercially available in many countries (Austin & Austin, ), these have not yet been licensed for use in Peru. In this country, oxytetracycline and florfenicol, which are the only agents authorized in Peru (SANIPES, ), are most frequently used to control losses to this disease but there are anecdotal reports that other agents such as oxolinic acid, amoxicillin and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim have also been used.…”
