TL;DR: The package of veterinary epidemiological computer software, WIN EPISCOPE 2.0, is described in this paper and provides comprehensive ‘Help’ screens and should therefore be useful not only in field investigations but also for teaching veterinary epidemiology.

TL;DR: The fascinating relationship between the fish immune system and the bacteria that are present in its intestinal microbiota is explored, focusing on the bacterial effect on the development of certain immune responses.

TL;DR: Clear evidence is shown that the indigenous trout-associated microbiota may provide a defensive barrier against L. garvieae, indicating that proteinaceous extracellular inhibitory compounds were at least partially responsible for pathogen antagonism.

TL;DR: In this article, three epidemiological surveys in Ecuadorian farms were carried out and showed an apparent association between lower temperature and increased mortality rates in commercial ponds in commercial shrimp, Penaeus vannamei (Boone), induced by WSSV.

TL;DR: The addition of exogenous rosemary or cysteine to the freezing extender positively affected post-thawed viability and acrosome integrity and the inclusion of rosemary into the extender was effective in penetration and cleavage rate and also in the efficiency of the fertilization system.
