Aeromonas allosaccharophila
Characteristics of the Disease
A description of the exact pathology present in the diseased elvers was not provided
(Martinez-Murcia et al. 1992 ).
Isolation
The precise isolation method was not described. However, it was mentioned that
growth occurred after an unstated period on TSA at 4–42 °C (Martinez-Murcia et al.
1992 ).
Characteristics of the Pathogen
During an examination of 16S rRNA sequences of motile aeromonads, two isolates,
which were originally recovered from diseased elvers in Spain during 1988, were
considered as suffi ciently distinct from existing species to warrant description as a
new species, Aer. allosaccharophila (Martinez-Murcia et al. 1992 ). However, it is
recognised that isolates are phenetically heterogeneous (Huys et al. 2001 ).
