dc.description.abstractThe European INCO-DEV BOMOSA Project (Integrating BOMOSA cage fish farming systems in reservoirs, ponds and temporary water bodies in Eastern Africa) intends to establish small scale fish farming in marginal water bodies in Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, creating rural aquaculture networks with the aim to economically integrate aquaculture with agriculture. In order to study veterinary and public health aspects in Bomosa fish farming systems, a parasitological survey on wild and cultured tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus niloticus) has been carried out from March 2007 to October 2008. A total of 982 tilapias - 685 from Kenya, 222 from Uganda and 75 from Ethiopia - were sampled and subjected to complete parasitological examination. During the survey, fish from different environments (258 from open water reservoirs, 445 from ponds and 279 from BOMOSA cages) were sampled in order to evaluate the factors which could influence the parasite diffusion and outbreak of diseases. Quantitative data, such as prevalence, intensity and abundance, and qualitative data are presented together with the main abiotic and biotic risk factors identified as relevant for veterinary and public health aspects in tilapia aquaculture.en_US
