Abstract
Tilapia immune responses and the rates of pathogen replication are usually correlated with water temperature. A number of endemic diseases of tilapia (e.g. streptococcosis and columnaris) will thus likely become more prevalent and difficult to control as water temperature increases. Extreme weather events (e.g. flash floods) are also likely to change the freshwater environment adversely for fish, increasing their susceptibility to diseases.
