What does this research mean for the field?

Streptococcus, Aeromonas, Francisella, and Edwardsiella are the major bacterial pathogens affecting farmed Nile tilapia globally, and mitigating their impact requires integrated, data-driven strategies linking pathogen surveillance, biosecurity, environmental stewardship, and preventive management. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Synthesize global evidence on major bacterial pathogens, virulence mechanisms, host immune responses, antimicrobial resistance, and management strategies in farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Implication

Systematic review reveals major bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance risks in farmed Nile tilapia, highlighting the need for integrated surveillance and preventive disease management.

Key Points

Synthesize global evidence on major bacterial pathogens, virulence mechanisms, host immune responses, antimicrobial resistance, and management strategies in farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
Assessed 399 full-text records from 689 initial search results, including 312 qualifying studies in the qualitative synthesis.
Identified Streptococcus, Aeromonas, Francisella, and Edwardsiella as the primary bacterial pathogens threatening global tilapia production under stressful farming conditions.
Characterized antimicrobial resistance as a critical One Health concern propagated through mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer across aquaculture environments.
