1992, Wilhelm Schäperclaus, Fish diseases, volume 1, page 5301 more example
Edwardsiellosis of eel breaks out with high incidences every year in farm ponds in the Yoshida area (Wakabayashi and Egusa, 1973b), but is uncommon in other eel-culturing areas. Recently, however, E. tarda was reported to be isolated from eels in farm ponds in Aichi Prefecture adjacent to Shizuoka Prefecture (Uno and Muroga, 1974).
