A species of Aphanomyces was isolated from juvenile soft-shelled turtles, Pelodiscus sinensis, cultured in Japan. Typically, an infected turtle showed small whitish maculae on the carapace. Many hyphae were observed in the epidermis. The hyphae we...

In this study, we aimed to identify the leukocyte population that expresses Fas ligand (FasL) in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). The transcriptional activity of FasL was examined for the first time in the fish leukocytes. Transcrip...
The role of leukocytes from the kidney of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in the encapsulation response was investigated using an in vitro model. The aggregation response of leukocytes to the target fish pathogen Ichthyophonus hoferi was ...
Acremonium sp. NJM 0672, isolated from diseased mantis shrimp Oratosquilla oratoria, was susceptible in vitro to three kinds of antifungal agents: voriconazole, amphotericin B and terbinafine hydrochloride. Voriconazole was selected to treat kurum...
A visceral mycosis occurred in ayu Plecoglossus altivelis larvae at Yamanashi Prefectural Fisheries Technology Center, Japan, in 2007 and 2008. Cumulative mortalities due to the disease were 19-33%. Most diseased fish were characterized by the opa...

In 2019, several aquarium-reared fish died at a sea life park in Japan. Necropsy revealed micronodules on the spleen in the dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus). Seven of 16 fish exhibited microscopic multifocal granulomas associated with aci...
Mycobacterium montefiorense is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in fish and salamanders. Here, we report annotated draft genome sequences of eight strains that were isolated in 2014 and 2018 from salamanders reared in an aquar...
Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, has been isolated from wild and cultured fish. We report here the complete genome and partial megaplasmid sequences of a strain isolated from an aquarium-reared Japanese sa...
Mycobacterium marinum is a ubiquitous nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals. Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequences of 25 strains isolated from vertebrates, invertebrates, and environmental components...
Mycobacterium marinum is a prevalent nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)-infecting teleosts. Conversely, little is known about mycobacteriosis in elasmobranchs, and M. marinum infection has never been reported from the subclass. This study investig...
