Int’l Collab Fuels Tilapia Vaccine Breakthrough

Dr. Alvin T. Reyes, a faculty researcher at the College of Fisheries (CoF) and the Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC), has achieved a significant breakthrough in aquaculture by developing an inactivated vaccine formulated with hydrogen peroxide to prevent major bacterial pathogens that threaten red Nile tilapia production. The bacterial pathogen called Streptococcus agalactiae poses a serious threat to large-scale tilapia aquaculture operations in the ASEAN region, resulting in substantial economic losses. Collaborating with Dr. Chanagun Chitmanat, a senior researcher at Maejo University, Dr. Reyes has introduced a practical and effective approach to enhancing fish health and sustainability in aquaculture. The vaccine has been tested on experimental fish, and while the final study results are still pending, initial observations indicate promising efficacy in protecting against bacterial infection. Dr. Reyes expressed optimism, stating, “We are hopeful for positive results, even though the final study results are still being processed.” The collaboration between Central Luzon State University (CLSU) and Maejo University was crucial in the vaccine’s development. Access to Maejo University's advanced laboratories and research methods significantly aided in the rigorous testing and refinement of the vaccine. This partnership underscores the importance of international collaboration in tackling critical challenges within the aquaculture sector. #CLSUR4D #SievingForExcellence #SDG14
