Specific and non-specific immune response to different doses of formalin killed whole cell vaccine of Aeromonas hydrophila to Indian major carp (Labeo rohita) was evaluated in laboratory condition. Three different doses (10(5) CFU/ml, 10(7) CFU/ml, 10(10) CFU/ml) were administered (0.2 ml/fish) intraperitoneally for 1 month. Among the three doses, 10(10) CFU/ml elicited the highest antibody and protective response followed by the doses 10(7) CFU/ml and 10(5) CFU/ml. Upon challenge with the virulent strain of A. hydrophila, the relative percentage of survival was recorded up to 80% at highest dose of 10(10) CFU/ml. The non-specific responses, similar to the specific immune responses were also maximum at highest dose of 10(10) CFU/ml. Similar to the specific immune responses, the non-specific responses were maximum at highest dose of 10(10) CFU/ml. Therefore, dose containing 10(10) CFU/ml of formalin killed cells was found to be the most effective dose for vaccination which increased ...

Selection of fish disease resistance may be performed directly via survival and challenge data or indirectly via the identification of the underlying resistance markers responsible for the differential survival. In a preliminary study, the potential correlation of a variety of specific and nonspecific immune parameters with aeromoniasis resistance was investigated in 13 different fullsib families of rohu (Labeo rohita), one of the important Indian major carp species known to exhibit differential susceptibilities to aeromoniasis in laboratory conditions. The experimental infection of fish through the intraperitoneal route to Aeromonas hydrophila produced mortality ranging from 0 to 100%. The specific immune response as measured through haemagglutination (HA) titre against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and nonspecific immunity levels (lysozyme activity and natural haemolysin titre) were not found to be significantly different between resistant and susceptible groups. Serum bactericidal activity was found to be higher in groups of rohu resistant to A. hydrophila infection. Nevertheless, significant (P < 0.05) positive correlation between serum bactericidal activity and aeromoniasis survivality was observed. Based on the observations, bactericidal activity appears to play a role in resistance against A. hydrophila infection.
Immune Response of Indian Major Carp, Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) with Regards to Age and Size
Environment & Ecology, 2014
Influence of age and size on specific immune response of Indian major carp Labeo rohita was studied. Different size groups (5-8 cm, 9-12 cm and 13-16 cm) of same aged fishes were immunized against Aeromonas hydrophila vaccine by injection and immersion methods and specific immune response was studied by antibody agglutination test. Antibody titers were 2-4 folds higher in large sized (13-16 cm) fishes than small sized (5-8 cm) fishes on peak titer day after second boosters when immunized by injection and immersion methods. It is also observed that immersion and injection imminization elicit same level of antibody titers in small sized fishes, but a distinct different level of antibody titers in large sized fishes. Immune response of Indian major caro L. rohita may depend on size rather than age.

Specific and non-specific immune response to different doses of formalin killed whole cell vaccine of Aeromonas hydrophila to Indian major carp (Labeo rohita) was evaluated in laboratory condition. Three different doses (10 5 CFU/ml, 10 7 CFU/ml, 10 10 CFU/ml) were administered (0.2 ml/fish) intraperitoneally for 1 month. Among the three doses, 10 10 CFU/ml elicited the highest antibody and protective response followed by the doses 10 7 CFU/ml and 10 5 CFU/ml. Upon challenge with the virulent strain of A. hydrophila, the relative percentage of survival was recorded up to 80% at highest dose of 10 10 CFU/ml. The non-specific responses, similar to the specific immune responses were also maximum at highest dose of 10 10 CFU/ml. Similar to the specific immune responses, the non-specific responses were maximum at highest dose of 10 10 CFU/ml. Therefore, dose containing 10 10 CFU/ml of formalin killed cells was found to be the most effective dose for vaccination which increased the immunity in Indian major carp (Labeo rohita) to a larger extent.

Uptake and processing of biofilm (BF) and free-cell (FC) vaccines of Aeromonas hydrophila were studied in the Indian major carps catla Catla catla, and rohu Labeo rohita and in the common carp Cyprinus carpio following a single dose oral vaccination of 10 11 CFU g -1 fish. Fish were sampled at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h and at 2, 3, 5 and 10 d following vaccination and antigen localization was studied in the gut, kidney and spleen employing monoclonal antibody based immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase. The general pattern of antigen localization was similar in catla, rohu and common carp. Initially, both the BF and FC antigens were localized in the gut lumen, followed by their uptake by intraepithelial vacuoles and macrophages. Antigen administered orally was also seen in the spleen and kidney. Both BF and FC antigens were detected in the gut lumen of carp within 30 min following oral delivery. However, BF antigen remained in the lumen of the hindgut for 48 h compared to 6 h in the case of FC antigen. In the early stages, BF antigen was localized in the gut epithelial vacuoles while FC antigen was associated with the small macrophages of the hindgut. Antigen localization in spleen and kidney was observed at 3 h and persisted even up to 10 d following oral delivery. In general, there was a distinct difference between BF and FC vaccines in the duration of retention and quantity of uptake in the gut, kidney and spleen.

The effects of injectable killed Aeromonas hydrophila on lymphocyte populations and on serum proteins of juvenile common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were examined. The fishes were injected either intraperitoneally or intramuscularly with killed A. hydrophila bacterin isolated from a diseased fish. 15 days after injection the lymphocyte count was significantly higher in the kidney of intraperitoneally bacteria injected fishes than in the normal saline injected fishes (p < 0.05), but in the blood smears the lymphocyte count difference was not significant (p > 0.05). In the intramuscular bacteria injected fishes in comparison with the normal saline group, the lymphocyte count was significantly higher only in the blood (p < 0.05) but in the kidney the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). In comparison between the serum protein parameters in different groups, in intraperitoneal injection of killed-bacteria, total albumin as well as the ratio of albumin/globulin was greater than the control group (p < 0.05). The other fractions had not showed any significant difference (p > 0.05). In intramuscular injection, the normal saline-injected group, amount of α-globulin was significantly higher than bacteria-injected group (p < 0.05). For the other fractions there was no significant difference between two groups (p > 0.05).

The Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS) is an important disease of cultured catfishes (Heteropneustes fossilis, Clarias batrachus and Pangasius pangasius), caused by different species of Aeromonas bacteria which have been documented to be higher death rates (70%) in Bangladesh since 2016. Present study was conducted to develop bi-valent vaccine using A. hydrophila and A. veronii, and to validate their efficacy via intra-muscular (IM) and oral-routes of immunization in selected species of fishes. Brood fishes of the three species were immunized with three doses of inactivated vaccine (10 7 CFU /2.3 mg/ml). Hematological parameters of brood fishes and antibody levels (IgM) of broods, their larvae and eggs were determined by ELISA. Additionally, Relative Percent Survivability (RPS) and the IgM levels of the larvae after challenge with virulent A. hydrophila and A. veronii were also evaluated. Findings of this study showed that the lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes counts and antibody (IgM) titre of brood fishes, larvae and eggs from the vaccinated fishes were found significantly higher (p< 0.05) compared to the unvaccinated control groups. Alternatively, antibody levels (IgM) in the larvae of vaccinated group of brood fishes fed with antigen coated feed was exhibited to be remarkably higher (p< 0.05) than the antigen nonfed group. The RPS of larvae of Shing (91.24 ± 2.00%), Magur (88.09 ± 2.88%) and Pangas (93.17 ± 1.52%) was found to be higher in the larvae at 20-day age of vaccinated group compared to non-vaccinated brood fishes group. Findings of this study indicated that the active immunization of brood fishes followed by oral immunization of their larvae feeding with antigen coated feed showed synergistic effect in protecting cultured Shing, Magur and Pangas fishes from frequent attack with Aeromonas spp at any age of their lifetime.
