Title : New developments in the field of Aquatics vaccination in Iran and the world

Abstract:

Aquaculture currently has the highest growth in the world among different disciplines for the production of protein materials (15.7%). However, the occurrence of various infectious diseases (bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic) among aquatic animals are a serious risk in this field. Also, the economic losses caused by the mortalities of these infectious diseases in aquatic animals are very high. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment, especially for viral aquatic diseases, and in some cases the loss rate maybe reaches to 100%, which is the biggest obstacle to the growth of aquaculture, mariculture and fish farming in cages. On the other hand, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics to fight infectious diseases in aquaculture has increased the risk of bacterial resistance, and now the third generation of antibiotics is used to fight bacterial diseases in humans. Meanwhile, the statistics of vaccination consumption in many developed aquaculture countries, such as Norway, have shown that at the same time as vaccination, the use of different vaccines in aquaculture has increased sharply compared to the use of antibiotics that were decreased. In this article, the most important and latest aquatic vaccines and the introduction of new technologies in this category will be discussed and various health, economic and social aspects of aquatic vaccines will be presented. Recombinant, DNA, subunit vaccines could be considered as and the new generation of vaccines and recent advances in aquatic vaccination. In Iran, new and successful experiences in the field of aquatic vaccination have occurred in the last decade, which has been accompanied by valuable achievements in control and prevention of Aquatics infectious diseases.
