The application of biotechnology to disease management has led to considerable improvements in production of most livestock species and arable crops. Its use in aquaculture is less well developed, but there are several areas in which biotechnological approaches have led to advances in vaccine research, disease diagnosis, epidemiology and understanding of genetic influences on resistance or susceptibility.
