Vaccine and Immunology

Fish & Poultry Vaccines

Antibiotic use in fish production has decreased because to vaccines created for aquaculture. There are currently vaccinations for a few economically significant bacteria, very few for viral illnesses, and none produced for fish parasites or fungi. The development of fish vaccines has been severely hampered by a lack of knowledge on fish immunology, the widespread use of unlicensed vaccines, high vaccine costs, and administration stress. Reviewing the current state of fish vaccination for fish disease control is necessary, as is identifying the needs and future research paths.

A key component of the chicken flock's health management is vaccination. Vaccinating birds against several diseases can avoid many illnesses. By stimulating or strengthening the bird's immune system to develop antibodies that combat the invasive causative organisms, a vaccination aids in the prevention of a certain disease.
