Mycobacteriosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium spp. that is common in captive, wild and research fish species. The overall goal of this thesis was to investigate mycobacteriosis in laboratory zebrafish in order to increase our understanding of this disease with the intention of influencing control and management practices. First, disease prevention through embryo disinfection was investigated. The effectiveness of several disinfectants were evaluated and povidone-iodine was identified as an effective disinfectant in vitro, it was then evaluated in vivo and showed minimal effects embryo health. Second, the potential of antibiotic treatment against mycobacteriosis in zebrafish was evaluated in vitro where tigecycline and clari...
