In Introduction

• A small country considering its land area but stood 3rd, 4th

and 5th in inland capture fisheries, overall fish production and culture fisheries respectively

• Riverine delta rich in water resources along with Indian

Ocean, BoB shared by other countries

• As fish Production is being intensified day by day Disease

along with Transboundary Fish Diseases risk also increasing

• Diversification of aquaculture, limited quarantine facility,

geographical situation, insufficient HRD also increased disease vulnerability as well as Transboundary diseases

• Integrated planning and coordinated effort in South Asian

countries are essentially needed for the control measures of Transboundary diseases

• Visited Bangladesh from 25 August to 14 September, 2019
• Conducted 3 days training on Sample Collection
• Identified some bacteria causing finfish diseases in BD
• Capacity of laboratory professionals and field officers regarding sample collection,

bacterial isolation and antimicrobial sensitivity test (AST) strengthened.

• Very few diseased fishes were found, may be due to off season
• Very few pathogens were isolated
• Another reason may be; Prevailing water temp (around 30 ℃ ) might be one of the

causes of very few disease attack was

• Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from most of the samples.
• Streptococcus sp. was isolated from Bata (Labeo Bata), Magur (Clarius batrachus)

and Koi (Anabas testudinius), Enteric bacteria were isolated but was difficult to confirm by colony May be Edwardsiella tarda, E. ictaluri Further characterization tests by API20E are needed

BFRI Lab in Mymensingh, Bangladesh

• Provided training of lab professionals in Sample Collection and Disease Diagnosis Method

Development

Activities of Solidarid Network

• Solidaridad Network mainly works on sustainable agriculture, food security and

linkages with farmers to raise productivity, quality and income for small scale fish farmers.

• The organization facilitated to prepare SOP of Black Tiger Shrimp and it has

been approved by GoB

• Capacity build up of academicians for shrimp disease diagnosis
• Provided Logistic support to the microbiological lab. of Khulna and Dhaka

University

Activities of Winrock International

• This organization provides instructions and technical expertise for farmers and fishers

to increase productivity along with value chain development. their production and develop and serve markets for shrimp.

• For example it Hire experts from various countries to find out problems on shrimp

farming along with mitigative measures

• Tries to augment climate change resiliency through collaborations with communities to

manage critical wetlands

• Build awareness among shrimp farmers in Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP),

biosecurity and other management measures to enhance production

• As shrimp farmers can easily get rid of fish diseases by adopting good management
• practices. They are focusing their attention on this case also.

Sh Sharin ing Activ tivit itie ies of f Dif ifferent In Internatio ional l Organiz izatio ions to St Strengthen Dis isease Su Surveil illa lance Future plan of Bangladesh

• Establishment of 1 reference lab and 3 quarantine lab for fish health

management within 2 years by through Sustainable Coastal and Marin Fisheries Project under Department of Fisheries Bangladesh

• Expanding 3 QC Labs with another wing for fish disease diagnosis and

development of 17 quarantine labs at the quarantine stations

• We are on the way to Introduce AMR Surveillance system integrating with

DGHS, DLS, DoF within 2 year

• We have a plan to incorporate Integrated software for surveillance on fish

disease and AMR named BAAHIS

Bangladesh has There are 3 QC labs under DoF of which 2 labs are equipped for shrimp disease diagnostic facilities. Another BFRI lab can diagnose fin fish disease but with limited facilities. Two labs have shrimp disease diagnostic facilities on WSSV, YHV, IHHNV, IMNV, MrNV, TSV, EMS. They have passed 5 PTs. We have other research labs in Universities. Supports from our Asian countries, we expect:

• Emergency response: Laboratory preparedness, disease investigation, disease confirmation,

control measures and training

• RLs can help conducting more PTs in our country.
• We need to develop diagnostic methods as OIE Standards
• BD expects to strengthen communication with other countries to share technical information,

publications, testing protocol, information on causative agents, susceptible species, information

• f mode of transmission, positive control and also to have reference materials.
• We need to make our Labs prepared for facing emergent diseases. Co-operation and co-
• rdination is essentially needed in this regard.
