A 71-day study was conducted to explore the effect of increasing dietary levels (0, 250, 500, 1000 mg kg feed-1; D0, D250, D500 and D1000, respectively) a blend microencapsulated organic acids (OA, specifically citric sorbic acid) nature identical compounds (NIC, thymol vanillin), on growth, intestinal immune parameters gut microbiota (GM) European sea bass juveniles reared under normal subsequently suboptimal environmental conditions (high temperature, 30.0 ± 0.4 °C low oxygen, 4.6 0.6...
Mediterranean marine aquaculture has suffered significant economic losses due to viral nervous necrosis (VNN) outbreaks mainly caused by different RGNNV betanodavirus strains. In recent years, the sector experienced emergence of RGNNV/SJNNV reassortant betanodavirus, harbouring RNA1 segment genotype and RNA2 SJNNV genotype. So far, strains massive mortality in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) larvae sparing European bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). this study, multiple occurred one Italian...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate occurrence pathogens and diseases in laboratory fish over a 10-year period at Centre for Experimental Fish Pathology Sicily, University Messina. This report also emphasizes adverse effects subclinical infections on research endpoints, as well importance animal health with respect welfare. Infections used can alter experimental outcomes, increase variability data, impede reproducibility. For this purpose, 411 diseased different species (out...
Nowadays functional ingredients have a significant potential for improving current low fish meal (FM) aquafeed formulation in sustaining growth and enhancing animal robustness Mediterranean aquaculture. Among them, nucleotides (NT) nucleic acids (NA) drew attention their application the last two decades. NT are organic molecules involved many life-supporting pathways, building blocks of NA, which stand as genetic repositories. naturally present ingredients, among them FM is known to be one...

Betanodaviruses are small ssRNA viruses responsible for viral encephalopathy and retinopathy, otherwise known as nervous necrosis, in marine fish worldwide. These can be either horizontally or vertically transmitted have been sporadically detected invertebrates, which seem to one of the possible sources. Twenty-eight new betanodavirus strains were retrieved three molluscs species collected from different European countries between 2008 2015. The phylogenetic analyses revealed that bivalve...
The genus Pestivirus, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family, includes ssRNA+ viruses responsible for infectious diseases in pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and other domestic wild ruminants. Like most of RNA viruses, pestivirus has high genome variability with practical consequences on disease epidemiology, diagnosis control. In addition officially recognized species such as BVDV-1, BVDV-2, BDV CSFV, pestiviruses have been detected. Furthermore, ruminant show low or absent specificity observed...
Quasispecies composition and tissue distribution of feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) were studied in naturally infected cats. The genomic complexity FCoVs was investigated using single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis N ORF7b amplicons, the evolutionary process by sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. SSCP showed high heterogeneity FCoV genome which correlated with seriousness clinical form. two regions analysed different levels variation; region demonstrated significant as...
Aims This study aims to investigate the presence and spatial-seasonal variability of human fish viruses in coastal marine systems using Ravenna's harbour area (Adriatic Sea, Italy) as a model. Methods Results Human (noroviruses hepatitis A virus) one most threatening finfish pathogens, nervous necrosis virus (NNV), were investigated mussels living inside offshore harbour. Thirty-three 36·7% tested mussel samples resulted contaminated by respectively. different distribution was observed....
Aquaculture is a constantly growing sector. The intensification of fish production and the movement aquatic animals could cause spread infectious diseases. Remarkably, diffusion viral agents represents major bottleneck for finfish production, encephalopathy retinopathy (VER) considered most impacting disease Mediterranean aquaculture. No effective therapies are available to contrast VER, vaccination can be applied only in grow-out facilities. Hence, programs minimize sanitary risks farms...
