“…O S. agalactiae causa necrose local, invade e se multiplica dentro de macrófagos que podem atuar como veículos permitindo a invasão da corrente sanguínea, disseminando-o para vários órgãos, inclusive para o encéfalo, pois há transposição da barreira hematoencefálica, caracterizando assim uma septicemia (ELDAR et al 1994, NGUYEN et al 2001, EVANS et al 2002, MUSA et al 2009). …”

RESUMOEsta revisão tem por objetivo proporcionar maior entendimento sobre a estreptococose na criação de tilápias e com isso auxiliar na escolha do melhor método de profilaxia e controle desta enfermidade. Streptococcus agalactiae é um patógeno cosmopolita e o principal agente etiológico de septicemia e meningoencefalite em teleósteos. Surtos provocados por essa bactéria levam a altas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade de peixes, resultando em sérios prejuízos econômicos, especialmente na tilapicultura que é o ramo da aquicultura que mais produz no Brasil. Este trabalho traz as principais características da estreptococose em tilápias do Nilo e sua prevenção pelo uso de vacinas intraperitoneais. Novos estudos devem ser realizados com intuito de esclarecer ainda mais sua patogênese e aperfeiçoar os métodos profiláticos e de controle. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: estreptococose, teleósteos, bacteriose. ABSTRACTThis review aims to provide greater understanding of estreptococosis in reared tilapia and thereby assist in choosing the best method of prevention and control of this disease. Streptococcus agalactiae is a cosmopolitan pathogen and the main etiologic agent of septicaemia and meningoencephalitis in teleost. Outbreaks caused by this bacteria lead to high rates of morbidity and mortality of fish, resulting in serious economic losses, especially in the cage tilapia culture that is a branch of aquaculture which produces most in Brazil. This paper presents the main estreptococosis characteristics in Nile tilapia and its prevention by using intraperitoneal vaccines. Further studies should be conducted with the intention of clarifying its pathogenesis and improving the prevention and control.

“…S. iniae and S. agalactiae have been frequently reported as the causative agents of streptococcosis in tilapia worldwide (Perera et al 1994; Eldar et al 1995; Bowser et al 1998; Salvador et al 2005; Suanyuk et al 2005, 2010; Yuasa et al 2008; Hernandez et al 2009; Musa et al 2009; Abuseliana et al 2010; Lusiastuti et al 2012; Najiah et al 2012; Figueiredo et al 2012). Except for one report from Brazil (Evans et al 2009), L. garvieae has been rarely isolated in tilapia with streptococcosis.…”

Infections with Streptococcus spp. were observed in Nile tilapia cultured in net cages in Lake Sentani, Papua, Indonesia. Clinical signs included exophthalmia, erratic swimming, ascites in abdominal cavity, and external hemorrhages. Four types of bacterial colonies (SK, K10, P20, and M12) were isolated from the brain, kidney, and eyes. Based on phenotypic and genetic (16S rDNA sequencing) characteristics, the isolates were identified as Streptococcus iniae (SK), Streptococcus agalactiae (K10 and P20) and Lactococcus garvieae (M12). The latter species has not been previously isolated or reported from fish streptococcosis in Indonesia. Intraperitoneal injection of healthy tilapia with the bacterial species caused significant morbidity (70%) within 3 days and 100% mortality at 6 days post injection. Experimental infections and reisolation of the bacteria from morbid and dead fish suggest they are the causative agents of streptococcosis, which rendered high mortality among cage cultured Nile tilapia in Lake Sentani. Our results suggest the need for developing diagnostic tools for accurate identification of the agents of streptococcosis. As tilapia aquaculture continues to expand as a means of food production and livelihood in Indonesia, it becomes crucial to ensure that fish resources are monitored and protected from the adverse effects of infectious diseases.

“…The most severe diseases of shrimp, causing the greatest economic losses to growers, are caused by Viruses and Bacteria [6].This kind of diseases attacked due to bacterial infections, particularly caused by luminous Vibrio. [7].Vibrio is well recognized as significance of disease and mortality. Two species, V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus are well documented as human pathogens.…”

ABSTRACT. The Vibrio is the most common genera with crustaceans often causing various diseases in Aquaculture and significant economic losses. Many Vibrio species are pathogenic to human and have been implicated in food borne diseases. The present study was carried out, the isolation and identification of pathogenic bacterial flora were isolated from infected in hepatopancreas of vannamei. The SPDS Oceanic farm, RS Aqua farm of and Valli vilas Aqua farm Vellar estuary, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, during the period of (September 2013 to November 2013). The collected samples were plated on TCBS-(Thiosulfate-Citrate-Bile salt-Sucrose) agar medium. The present study, totally 253 green colonies were isolated from TCBS agar plates and among these, 175colonies were identified by using the biochemical tests showed the V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, V. vulnificus, V. damsela and P. shigelloides. The maximum species was recorded in V. parahaemolyticus (83.4 %) and minimum was observed in V. mimicus (1.7 %).
