In recent years, recurrent outbreaks have been observed in golden rabbitfish (\n                    <jats:italic>Siganus guttatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) cultured in marine cages across the northern and central coastal provinces of Vietnam. This study investigated the epidemiology, pathogenicity, virulence gene profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility of\n                    <jats:italic>S. iniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    associated with disease outbreaks in rabbitfish aquaculture. Between 2023 and 2025, streptococcosis outbreaks were documented across 46 marine cage farms in multiple coastal provinces, with cumulative mortality ranging from 10%\u201345%, particularly during warm\u2010water periods (28\u201333\u00b0C). Bacteriological examination consistently yielded\n                    <jats:italic>S. iniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which was confirmed by biochemical tests and species\u2010specific PCR assays. An experimental challenge demonstrated the high virulence of a representative isolate, with a median lethal dose (LD\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) of 6.8\u2009\u00d7\u200910\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009CFU\/fish. Histopathological examination revealed severe multi\u2010organ lesions, including prominent involvement of the brain, kidney, liver, spleen, gills and intestine, consistent with systemic bacterial infection. Molecular screening of virulence\u2010associated genes identified six distinct gene profiles among isolates, indicating substantial genetic heterogeneity within the circulating pathogen population.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed heterogeneous resistance patterns, with high resistance to neomycin (NE) and moderate resistance to trimethoprim\u2013sulfamethoxazole (TRS), while most isolates remained susceptible to tetracyclines (TEs) and \u03b2\u2010lactam antibiotics. The widespread occurrence of outbreaks across multiple provinces and over consecutive years suggests sustained circulation of\n                    <jats:italic>S. iniae<\/jats:italic>\n                    within interconnected marine cage aquaculture systems. These findings provide new epidemiological insights into an emerging streptococcal disease affecting rabbitfish aquaculture and highlight the need for improved surveillance and disease management strategies in rapidly expanding marine cage\u2010farming sectors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/tbed\/2656593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T06:17:58Z","timestamp":1784009878000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Emergence and Regional Circulation of\n                    <i>Streptococcus iniae<\/i>\n                    Associated With Streptococcosis in Marine Cage\u2010Farmed Golden Rabbitfish (\n                    <i>Siganus guttatus<\/i>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2271-849X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Truong Dinh","family":"Hoai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dang Thi","family":"Hoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nguyen Cong","family":"Thiet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nguyen Thi Huong","family":"Giang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doan Thi","family":"Nhinh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tran Thi Nang","family":"Thu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Van Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aqrep.2024.102176"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10499-025-02392-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","first-page":"233","volume-title":"Aquaculture Development in Archipelago: Domestication and Cultivation of Freshwater and Marine Fishes in Indonesia","author":"Lante S.","year":"2025"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","first-page":"65","article-title":"Embryonic Developmental Stages in Cultured Rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus, Bloch 1787)","volume":"1","author":"Tabugo S.
