PhD Dissertation at the University of Basrah Explores the Development of a Vaccine Against Pathogenic Bacteria
The College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah examined a PhD dissertation titled “Development of a Vaccine Against Pathogenic Bacteria and Enhancement of the Immune Response in Common Carp.”
The study, presented by researcher Israa Adel Fadhel, aims to develop a safe and effective vaccine that contributes to combating bacterial diseases threatening aquaculture projects, while reducing reliance on antibiotics in support of sustainable and healthy production.
The dissertation addressed the vaccine’s effects on the general health of the fish and the immune activity of blood cells, with a focus on monitoring indicators such as Interleukin-6, Interleukin-10, and immunoglobulin levels. The findings confirmed the vaccine’s effectiveness in stimulating both innate and adaptive immunity according to the dosing regimen employed.
