Abstract
Mycobacteriosis, caused by many different rapidlygrowingMycobacteriumspp, affects a variety ofwild and farmed fish. Affected fish usually shownodular gross lesions in internal organs, anorexia,melanosis and exophthalmia. Diagnosis is usually based on cultural, histopatho-logical and, more recently, molecular investiga-tions. Moreover, piscine mycobacteriosis is aminor zoonosis, causing cutaneous nodular andulcerative lesions in humans and currentlyrepresents a health risk for both fish hobbyists andprofessional fish farmers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
