The Asia Diagnostic Guide to Aquatic Animal Diseases is a comprehensive, up-datable diagnostic guide for the pathogens and diseases listed in the NACA/FAO/OIE Quarterly Aquatic Animal Disease Reporting System including a number of other diseases which are significant in the Asia region. It was developed from technical contributions of members of the Regional Working Group (RWG) and Technical Support Services (TSS) and other aquatic animal health scientists in the Asia-Pacific region who supported the Asia-PacificRegional Aquatic Animal Health Management Programme. The objective was to produce an Asia diagnostic guide, that could be of specific use in the region, for both farm and laboratory level diagnostics. The information in this Guide is presented in a format that spans from gross observations at the pond or farm site (Level 1), to guidance for information on technologically advanced molecular or ultrastructural diagnostics and laboratory analyses (Levels II and III, and OIE aquatic animal health standards), thus, taking into account international, regional, and national variations in disease concerns, as well as varying levels of diagnostic capability between countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
