Only recently has literature dealing secifically
with
diseases of aquarium fish become available. For
instance,
when Goldstein (1971) describes diseases of
aquarium
fishes, little information is included on bacterial or
viral
diseases because so little work has been done in this
area.
Further publications by T. F. H. Publications, Inc.,
have
been written by Innes (196%) and Axelrod and
Vorderwinkler (1973). These three are some of the best for
guiding

be
more important in the future as more is .learned
about
manipulating the animal's immune response and
the
disease
antigens which are involved in its protection.
The following paragraphs discuss some of the
significant
early history of human and veterinary applications
of
immunology. The history oftmmunology of fishes is
much
more recent. The techniques, while paralleling
human
medical
experience. vary in antigen administration, tests,
and
protection tests. The techniques employed in fish
immunology
depend upon the species, pathogen, and
environment.
