Studies on Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus acidophilus, as potential probiotics, on the immune response and resistance of Tilapia nilotica (Oreochromis niloticus) to challenge infections.
TLDR
The probiotic activity of two bacteria was evaluated by its effect on the immune response of Nile tilapia, beside its protective effect against challenge infections, and their in-vitro inhibitory activity was evaluated.About:

TL;DR: The review is aiming to highlight the immunomodulatory activity of probiotics and also to evaluate the factors that regulate for the optimum induction of immune responses in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of gastrointestinal microbiota in fish
TL;DR: The involvement of GI microbiota in fish nutrition, epithelial development, immunity as well as disease outbreak, and the need for manipulating the gut microbiota with useful beneficial microbes through probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic concepts for better fish health management are indicated.

Innate and adaptive immunity in teleost fish: a review.
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide a review of the immune system in fish, including the ontogeny, mechanisms of unspecific and acquired immunity and the action of some immunomodulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological Control of Fish Diseases
TL;DR: Fish are the first animal phyla to possess both an innate and adaptive immune system making them very interesting as regards developmental studies of the immune system, and the main prophylactic measures, including vaccination, probiotics and immunostimulation are covered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish immune system and its nutritional modulation for preventive health care
TL;DR: The role of dietary nutrients or additives on the functions of the immune system in fish has been investigated since the 1980s and more convincing evidences should be gathered before they are classified as ‘functional ingredients’.
