A study on toxin of Edwardsiella ictaluri in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and growth performance at the fry stage of 45 days old

Bacteria Edwardsiella ictaluri is a major pathogenic bacterium threatening aquatic species and seriously affecting the aquaculture industry globally. Previous studies have focused on analyzing bacteria's pathological signs and virulence on pangasius fingerlings. However, research on the virulence and pathogenicity of Edwardsiella ictaluri in the striped catfish at the fry stage is still limited.
