Summary: Tilapia tilapinevirus (TiLV) is a newly emerged virus that causes a novel disease and reduces tilapia populations worldwide. It has been reported in 17 countries, causing high mortalities. Currently, there are no therapeutics or vaccines specifically designed for TiLV control. Vaccination has shown potential in inducing protective immunity in tilapia. Various vaccine strategies are being explored, but a comprehensive overview of their efficacy is lacking. This review discusses recent advances in TiLV vaccine development, highlighting the need for further research and the incorporation of different approaches to enhance vaccine effectiveness.

Summary: Food safety is a major concern due to contamination by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, leading to diseases such as hemolytic uremic, irritable bowel and Guillain-Barre syndromes. Detection of pathogenic microbes is crucial, and current methods include biological methods, biosensors, spectroscopy, immunology, and nucleic acid techniques. Advanced detection technologies are essential for analyzing toxic substances in food.

Summary: Foodborne pathogens are a common and concerning cause of illnesses worldwide. Current treatment relies on antibiotics, but the increase in antibiotic resistance and side effects necessitate the development of alternate therapies. This review provides information on common foodborne diseases, their treatment options, including natural alternatives such as phytochemicals and bacteriocins, as well as synthetic treatments like antibiotics.

Summary: Vector-borne emerging and re-emerging diseases pose significant public health challenges globally. Interactions among pathogens, hosts, environment, and social demographic factors are key to the emergence and re-emergence of these diseases. Ongoing evolution of pathogens, population growth, urbanization, and climate change are among the factors linked with the appearance and resurgence of vector-borne infectious diseases.

Summary: The global production of aquatic resources is increasing thanks to aquaculture, but this industry is considered high risk due to failures caused by epizootics, natural disasters, and poor planning. Bioeconomic modeling, which integrates economics and biology, should be used in aquaculture to reduce uncertainty and increase profits. However, the scientific productivity in this field is low, possibly due to a lack of awareness and user-friendly software.

Summary: The contamination of food and feed by mycotoxins is a serious global food safety problem, with fungal metabolites posing various health risks. This review explores the bi-directional interaction between major food-borne mycotoxins and the gut microbiota, as well as the potential impact of probiotics on animals exposed to mycotoxins. The role of the gut microbiota in assessing the risk of mycotoxins is crucial to fully understand their effects on health.

Summary: Traditional analytical methods for assessing fish freshness have drawbacks such as destructiveness and high cost, leading to the development of non-invasive and non-destructive techniques like biosensors and spectroscopic methods. These novel methods provide a wealth of information with just one test, suitable for online process control and require minimal to no sample preparation, avoiding sample destruction.

Summary: We developed a new healthy gummy jelly made from gelatine derived from tilapia skin and rice cultivar powders. The gummy jelly showed enhanced nutritional value and improved flavor when combined with different rice varieties. The gummy jelly with black sticky rice powder had the highest protein and carbohydrate content, while the gummy jelly with rice berry received the highest score in sensory evaluation.
