The journal Aquaculture International publishes a continuous Topical Collection (this opens in a new tab) on 'Innovations in disease control and diagnosis'. We now call for papers covering Innovations in disease control and diagnosis. Some examples of review or original research papers that would be relevant to this call include: 

  • Developments in adjuvants for use with injectable vaccines
  • Developments in oralisers to increase the effectiveness of oral vaccines
  • New non specific immunostimulants and their effectiveness at controlling disease
  • The use of probiotics, prebiotics and medicinal plant products in field situations
  • Probiotic, prebiotic and/or medicinal plant combinations
  • Determination of the active components of medicinal plants leading to studies with purified compounds to determine their effectiveness for disease control
  • Effective dosages, longevity of protection, and the ideal time to use these disease control agents
  • New methods of disease diagnosis
  • The value of diagnosis in effecting disease control
