Expanding Horizons: The First Reported Outbreak of Piscine Lactococcosis in Farmed Gilthead Seabream Sparus aurata in the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea.
Article in Journal of fish diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Piscine lactococcosis, caused by Lactococcus garvieae, has traditionally been reported in rainbow trout and marine fish in specific regions. However, its first outbreak in farmed gilthead seabream Sparus aurata in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea marks a significant expansion in the distribution of the disease. In 2024, a total of 212 gilthead seabream from three different aquaculture facilities, including one offshore farm with floating cages and two land-based tank farms, were subjected to diagnostic exams during mortality outbreaks. Bacterial isolation and molecular identification confirmed L. garvieae in market-size gilthead seabream collected during mortality outbreaks in the warm season or at seawater temperatures > 18°C. Our results highlight the importance of environmental monitoring and pathogen management in preventing piscine lactococcosis. The outbreaks align with previous studies on L. garvieae infections in marine fish, particularly regarding water temperature. The expanding geographic range of the pathogen necessitates further investigation into its ecology, particularly in Mediterranean aquaculture. This study highlights the need for improved biosecurity measures, early detection methods, and tailored vaccination strategies to mitigate the impact of piscine lactococcosis in gilthead seabream farming. Future research should focus on understanding the environmental triggers and host-pathogen interactions to develop more effective control strategies.
