Protective efficacy of Aeromonas hydrophila vaccines in Nile tilapia

Protection and serum antibody production against Aeromonas hydrophila was examined in nile tilapia, Tilapia nilotica (L.). Intraperitoneally injected formalin-killed and Freunds complete adjuvant vaccines were compared using different doses (2.9 × 10 7 and 2.9 × 10 9cfu/ml). Upon challenge, the prot...

Summary:Protection and serum antibody production against Aeromonas hydrophila was examined in nile tilapia, Tilapia nilotica (L.). Intraperitoneally injected formalin-killed and Freunds complete adjuvant vaccines were compared using different doses (2.9 × 10 7 and 2.9 × 10 9cfu/ml). Upon challenge, the protective ability and antibody titers resulting were significantly different between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. A relative level of protection of 100% was obtained within two-weeks, and a maximum level of 53 – 61% protection was found one-week post-vaccination.
