For immunoprophylaxis against furunculosis of rainbow trout, a vaccine has been prepared on the basis of inactivated of Aeromonas salmonicida. Strains of Aeromonas salmonicida were isolated from parenchymal organs (kidney, liver, spleen) of rainbow trout suffering from furunculosis and were cultured on tryptose soya agar (TSA). The influence of intraperitoneal vaccination on the serological response of vaccinated rainbow trout was tested as well as the protective effect of the employed vaccine after naturally and artificially induced infection. It may be concluded that intraperitoneal vaccination of fish promotes a good serological response and protects the vaccinated fish from exposure to a pathogenic field isolate of the bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida.
