| Summary |
The Aeromonas hydrophila strain isolated from diseased tilapia was used as seed to produce inactivated bacterin. The inactivated bacterin was mixed with meals to immunize the tilapia. The vaccination program was performed two times per day during a period of 2 weeks. The results showed that the relative percent survival (R.P.S.) were 77% in the experimental pools and 40% in the field pools, respectively.
This result suggested that the inactivated bacterin had potency to prevent the Aeromonas hydrophila disease.
