Aquatic Animal Health Research
Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (white spot or ICH) a parasite can act as a vector for Edwardsiella ictaluri (bacteria causing enteric septicemia of catfish [ESC]) in channel catfish. The photograph shows fluorescent Edwardsiella ictaluri attached to the free swimming stage of ICH. Collaborative research demonstrated selective breeding of tilapia for disease resistance is possible for both S.
