Synopsis (please limit of 100 characters):

I selected one bacterial disease (Erysipelothrix piscisicarius), one parasitic disease (Myxobolus lentisuturalis), one viral disease (lake sturgeon alloherpesvirus), one neoplasic disease (iridophoroma), and some extra cases (tilapia with an eye fluke (Diplostomum spathaceum), and koi with nutritional hyperparathyroidism).

Learning Objectives:

  1. Present soon to be common diseases in ornamental, farmed, and wild fishes
  2. To get insight details on selected infectious and parasitic diseases.
  3. To get insight details on selected noninfectious diseases i.e., nutritional and neoplastic.
