Dietary immunostimulants reduced infectivity of Diplostomum spp. eye fluke in common carp, Cyprinus carpio L
Section snippets
Short communication
Intensive fish culture conditions increase susceptibility to infectious diseases [1]. Consequently, parasitic and other diseases present a major obstacle to the global fish culture industry, often requiring expensive and environmentally unfriendly chemotherapeutants for their control [2]. To date, research focus has shifted in favour of more ecological methods, including immunostimulants, to potentially enhance fish disease resistance [3]. Furthermore, immunostimulants may offer additional
