Abstrakt: The article discusses application of the fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) to the demonstration of Aspergillus organisms in formalin-fixed tissues of tilapias. The principle advantage of the technique is that the specifically fluorescing cells, even when few in number or in combination with other organisms, can be easily detected against a dark background. FAT is rapid and of high specificity. The work discussed in the article was performed to investigate the suitability of the immunofluorescence technique for adaptation to the diagnosis and study of Aspergillus flavus infection in tilapias.
