The immunostimulant effects of lysate and ToxA from Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been evaluated. Fish immunized with lysate and ToxA had 100% and 50% of survival, respectively, when challenged with the pathogen. Immune parameters in skin mucus were enhanced by intraperitoneal immunization. Injection of lysate or ToxA to fish has a protective effect on the deleterious effects caused by V. parahaemolyticus. Lysate and ToxA could be considered as potent preventive antigens to vibriosis for gilthead seabream.
