. A virulent strain of Aeromonas hydrophila associated with epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) was used to produce monoclonal antibodies that identified virulent strains of A. hydrophila. Antibodies from a clone, designated as F26P5C8, were found to identify the A. hydrophila serotype I isolates associated with EUS fish, and which were found to be virulent after subsequent inoculation studies. Immunodiagnosis of a large number of A. hydrophila from Australia and Japan showed some additional isolates to be identified by F26P5C8, but the status of their virulence is presently unknown.
