Abstract

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing high-protein resource market worldwide. Increased production in aquaculture brings along epidemics, which negatively affect the profitability and sustainability of production. In particular, vibriosis is responsible for the important diseases that can cause significant economic losses in cultured shellfish, shrimp, and fish. It may be extremely damaging to aquaculture industries, and preventative and treatment techniques are typically highly costly. Besides, the studies are limited for virulence, toxin genes, effects on host cells, and socio-economic effects of species that cause vibriosis in aquaculture. In addition, Vibrio species includes important pathogens that can especially induce zoonotic diseases, which are significant for public health. This review emphasizes various updated basic information about aquaculture disease including the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, pathological findings, diagnosis, transmission, risk factors, and control measures. The study will also highlight any possible knowledge gaps in the literature, which will serve as a foundation for future research goals.
