The strain marinum was first identified by Joseph D. Aronson in 1926 and it is observed as a pathogenic mycobacterium [3] causing tuberculosis-like infections in fish (mycobacteriosis) and skin lesions in humans. [3] [4] The bacteria grows optimal at a temperature around 30 °C. [4]
Fish Affected Image Symptoms Treatment Neon tetra disease: Pleistophora hyphessobryconis (Microsporidia) Neon tetras, zebrafish, various aquarium fish Heavily infected fish appear emaciated and lethargic. Infection targets skeletal muscle, which will appear more opaque through the skin. Piscine tuberculosis: Mycobacterium marinum bacteria: All
Aquarium granuloma (also known as fish tank granuloma and swimming pool granuloma) is a rare skin condition caused by a non-tubercular mycobacterium known as Mycobacterium marinum. [2] Skin infections with M. marinum in humans are relatively uncommon, and are usually acquired from contact with contaminated swimming pools, aquariums or infected ...
eating raw or undercooked fish and squid contaminated with eggs Anthrax: Bacillus anthracis: commonly – grazing herbivores such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, horses, and pigs by ingestion, inhalation or skin contact of spores Ascariasis: Ascaris suum, Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati: pigs, dogs, cats
Like chondrostean fish, the major immune tissues of bony fish (or teleostei) include the kidney (especially the anterior kidney), which houses many different immune cells. [57] In addition, teleost fish possess a thymus, spleen and scattered immune areas within mucosal tissues (e.g. in the skin, gills, gut and gonads).

Mycobacteria infect many different animals, including birds, [253] fish, rodents, [254] and reptiles. [255] The subspecies Mycobacterium tuberculosis, though, is rarely present in wild animals. [256] An effort to eradicate bovine tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis from the cattle and deer herds of New Zealand has been relatively ...
Diphyllobothriasis mostly occurs in regions where raw fish is regularly consumed; those who consume raw fish are at risk of infection. The infection is often asymptomatic and usually presents only with mild symptoms, which may include gastrointestinal complaints, weight loss, and fatigue.
