The important volume summarizes the current trends and developments in the study of bacterial and viral fish diseases. Books on these subjects are few and relevant review articles are mostly outdated. This volume will thus serve as a platform for scientists and aqua culturists to understand the current limitations as well as new developments so that fish health and disease control can advance to new heights. The first section provides readers with an overview of the bacterial and viral diseases and the current understanding of innate immunity and interactions with pathogens.
