It's a sickness you get from fish, miss (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salmonella

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's a sickness you get' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fish miss' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'salmon' (salmon is a kind of fish).
'miss' becomes 'ella' (I've seen this before).
'salmon'+'ella'='SALMONELLA'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salmonella that I've seen before include "stomach trouble" , "ill-feeling" , "Source of complaint" , "Bacteria causing food poisoning" , "Nasty bug" .)
