Start year 2021 End year 2024 Funding (€) € 1,407,767 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901680/ Summary Since 2018, the bacterial disease pasteurellosis has become a very serious disease in farmed salmon in the sea in South-West Norway and was registered at a total of 57 different farming locations in 2020. After infectious salmon anemia (ILA) and salmon lice respectively, pasteurellosis is ranked by fish health services in the Veterinary Institute (VI) survey for 2020 as the third most important growing disease problem for salmon in the food fish phase nationally. It is not known why the disease has suddenly become so widespread and whether it is due to changes in the bacteria, production conditions or other factors.
Main objective:
To generate knowledge about the pasteurellosis situation in farmed salmon in Norway, so that the disease can be effectively prevented, combated and controlled in the best possible way.
Sub-goals:
1) To document the bacteria's biophysical properties and the effect of relevant biosecurity measures, including disinfection.
2) To obtain knowledge about the bacteria's survival abilities in the environment and spread/infection dynamics.
3) To obtain knowledge as a basis for the development of an effective vaccine and/or other preventive measures.
