| Abstract: | Pasteurellosis, caused by Pasteurella piscicida, is one of the most threatening diseases of wild and cultured marine fish, and has been reported from many geographical areas including the USA, Japan and the Mediterranean countries. The objective of this article is to construct a picture of the current state of knowledge about this bacterial pathogen and the pathogenesis of the disease it causes. We review some important questions such as the controversial taxonomic position of the bacterium, and its main virulence mechanisms. The epidemiology of the disease, the routes of transmission and the putative reservoirs of P. piscicida in the environment are also discussed. Finally, a detailed survey of the strategies for controlling the disease is performed, including new diagnostic procedures, chemotherapy, employment of immunostimulants, and improvements in immunization programs. |
