Catfish production is a major aquaculture industry in the United States and is the largest sector of food fish production. As producers aim to optimize production yields, diseases caused by bacterial pathogens are responsible for high pond mortality rates and economic losses. The major bacterial pathogens responsible are , spp., and . Given the outdoor pond culture environments and ubiquitous nature of these aquatic pathogens, there have been many reports of co-infective bacterial infections within this aquaculture sector. Co-infections may be responsible for altering disease infection mechanics, increasing mortality rates, and creating difficulties for disease management plans. Furthermore, proper diagnoses of primary and secondary pathogens are essential in ensuring the correct treatment approaches for antimicrobials and chemical applications. A thorough understanding of the interactions and infectivity dynamics for these warm water bacterial pathogens will allow for the adoption of new prevention and control methods, particularly in vaccine development. This review aims to provide an overview of co-infective pathogens in catfish culture and present diagnostic case data from Mississippi and Alabama to define prevalence for these multiple-species infections better.
鲶鱼养殖是美国主要的水产养殖业，也是食用鱼生产的最大部门。由于生产者旨在优化产量，由细菌病原体引起的疾病导致池塘死亡率高和经济损失。主要的细菌病原体是 、 属和 。鉴于室外池塘养殖环境以及这些水生病原体的普遍存在，该水产养殖部门有许多关于共感染细菌感染的报道。共感染可能导致疾病感染机制改变、死亡率增加，并给疾病管理计划带来困难。此外，正确诊断原发性和继发性病原体对于确保抗菌药物和化学应用的正确治疗方法至关重要。深入了解这些温水细菌病原体的相互作用和感染动态将有助于采用新的预防和控制方法，特别是在疫苗开发方面。本综述旨在概述鲶鱼养殖中的共感染病原体，并展示来自密西西比州和阿拉巴马州的诊断病例数据，以更好地确定这些多物种感染的患病率。
