Efficacy of Feed Additives on Immune Modulation and Disease Resistance in Tilapia in Coinfection Model with Tilapia Lake Virus and Aeromonas hydrophila.

ABSTRACT: Coinfections by multiple pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, have severely impacted tilapia aquaculture globally. This study evaluated the impacts of dietary supplementation on red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) coinfected with Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) and Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish were divided into three groups: a control group on a normal diet, and two experimental groups received diets supplemented with strategy A, an organic acid blend combined with a lyso-phospholipid-based digestive enhancer, and strategy B, an organic acid blend combined with natural immunostimulants and nutrients. Following exposure to both pathogens, the fish supplemented with strategies A and B showed lower cumulative mortality rates of 50.0% and 41.7%, respectively, compared to 76.3% in
