Furunculosis of fish was first described over 100 years ago and this book is the first to discuss such a single fish disease. Eighteen chapters review and critically evaluate the contribution of individual disciplines, presenting a fascinating insight into the opinions, the controversies, the flavour of the debates, the humour and the excitement of the process which has led to the present understanding of this economically important disease. The multidisciplinary nature of research strategies is fully explored, and will have implications for those whose interests are not confined to this specific fish disease, such as disease, such as disease modellers.

Furunculosis: Multidisciplinary Fish Disease Research presents a fascinating insight into the opinions and the controversies which have led to current knowledge of this disease. It is the first book to cover one single fish disease by presenting not just the reviews, but also critical examination of the progress made by various disciplines. The multidisciplinary approach of the book makes it a valuable guide for veterinarians, fisheries biologists, and fish farm managers, as well as an excellent instructional text for students. The volume explores current research strategies and projects what developments can be expected in each field.
