Systemic and mucosal immune responses in red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) following immersion vaccination with a chitosan polymer-based nanovaccine against Aeromonas veronii.

[PMID: 38246266 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
A mucoadhesive chitosan polymer-based nanoplatform has been increasingly recognized as an effective mucosal vaccine delivery system for fish. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of immersion vaccination with a chitosan polymer-based nanovaccine to elicit an immune response in serum and mucus of red tilapia and evaluate its protective efficacy after immersion challenge with a heterogenous strain of Aeromonas veronii UDRT09. Six hundred red tilapia (22 ± 1.8 g) were randomly allocated into four experimental groups: control, empty-polymeric nanoparticle (PC), formalin-killed vaccine (FKV), and chitosan polymer-based nanovaccine (CS-NV) in triplicate. The specific IgM antibody levels and their bactericidal activity were assessed in serum and mucus for 28 days after immersion vaccination and followed by immersion challenge with A. veronii. The immersion vaccine was found to be safe for red tilapia, with no mortalities occurring during the vaccination procedure. The specific IgM antibody levels and bactericidal activity against A. veronii in both serum and mucus were significantly higher in red tilapia vaccinated with CS-NV compared to the FKV and control groups at all time points. Furthermore, the serum lysozyme activity, ACH50, and total Ig levels demonstrated a significant elevation in the groups vaccinated with CS-NV compared to the FKV and control groups. Importantly, the Relative Percentage Survival (RPS) value of the CS-NV group (71 %) was significantly higher than that of the FKV (15.12 %) and PC (2.33 %) groups, respectively. This indicates that the chitosan polymer-based nanovaccine platform is an effective delivery system for the immersion vaccination of tilapia.

Effects of Mangosteen ( Garcinia mangostana) Peel Extract Loaded in Nanoemulsion on Growth Performance, Immune Response, and Disease Resistance of Nile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus) against Aeromonas veronii Infection. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:1798. [PMID: 37889734 PMCID: PMC10251871 DOI: 10.3390/ani13111798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanotechnology can enhance nutrient delivery and bioavailability; hence, it has recently been considered the most practical alternative technology for nutritional supplements and disease control in fish farming. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of mangosteen peel extract loaded in nanoemulsion (MSNE) on the inhibition of A. veronii (in vitro) and in vivo growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, the immune response, and the disease resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against A. veronii challenge. The particle size, polydispersity index, and particle surface charge of MSNE were 151.9 ± 1.4 nm, >0.3, and -30 mV, respectively. Furthermore, MSNE, mangosteen peel extract (MPE), and nanoemulsion (NE) improved the antimicrobial activity against A. veronii. Fish fed MSNE, MPE, and NE-supplemented diets had a significantly lower (p < 0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) and higher specific growth rate (SGR) than fish fed the control diet. Furthermore, the MSNE had significantly higher serum glucose and protein levels than the control group in Nile tilapia. Total immunoglobulin, serum lysozyme, alternative complement activity, and survival of Nile tilapia fed with MSNE were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the control diet. Therefore, MSNE has the potential to be employed as a supplement in sustainable Nile tilapia farming.
