ABSTRACT:
A rapid and sensitive PCR-based assay is provided to facilitate early detection ofEdwardsiella ictaluriin channel catfish. This bacteria is the causative agent in the disease, Enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC). Also provided is a method of selecting breeding stock for use in selective breeding programs to improve disease resistance in channel catfish. Also provided is a method of determining the efficacy of vaccines produced against ESC.
