Furunculosis can affect a wide range of fish species, but it is most commonly seen in salmonids, such as salmon, trout, and char. The disease is characterized by the formation of furuncles, which are abscesses filled with pus. Furuncles can occur anywhere on the fish's body, but they are most commonly seen on the fins, skin, and gills.

Furunculosis can be a serious disease, and it can lead to death in fish. The severity of the disease depends on a number of factors, including the virulence of the bacteria, the health of the fish, and the environmental conditions.

There is no cure for furunculosis, but the disease can be treated with antibiotics. Treatment is most effective when it is started early in the course of the disease. In addition to antibiotics, other measures that can be taken to control furunculosis include vaccination, quarantine, and disinfection.

Furunculosis is a complex disease, and there is still much that is not known about its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. However, the research that has been conducted to date has provided valuable insights into the disease, and this research has led to the development of new and improved methods for controlling furunculosis in fish.
