In this study, we (1) isolated V. parahaemolyticus from seawater samples collected in some regions in the north of Vietnam, (2) evaluated and selected the virulent strain, and (3) created an inactivated vaccine using a selected strain and finally tested the relative percentage survival (RPS) of the inactivated vaccine on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Our study aims to develop an effective and commercially-potential vaccine to prevent damage of V. parahaemolyticus on fish farming, especially on species with high economic value. |
