Abstract In addition to being the respiratory organ in fish, gills form a barrier against external milieu. Innate and adaptive immune system components have been detected gills, but lymphoid cell accumulations similar that seen mammalian mucosa not described. The present investigations revealed on caudal edge of interbranchial septum at base gill filaments Atlantic salmon. Cytokeratin immunohistochemical staining identification basal membrane desmosome junctions by electron microscopy showed...
Quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (QHPV) is > 95% effective in preventing infection with vaccine-type papillomavirus. The safety and immunogenicity of QHPV are unknown HIV-infected children.HIV-infected children (N = 126)-age 7 to < 12 years, a CD4% ≥ 15-and on stable antiretroviral therapy if was 25-were blindly assigned receive dose or placebo (3:1 ratio) at 0, 8, 24 weeks. Adverse events were evaluated after each dose. Serum antibody against antigens measured by competitive...
Successful rearing of fish in hatcheries is critical for conservation, recreational fishing, commercial fishing through wild stock enhancements, and aquaculture production. Flowthrough (FT) require more water than recirculating systems (RAS), which enable up to 99% their be recycled, thus significantly reducing environmental impacts. Here, we evaluated the biological physical microbiome interactions three Atlantic salmon (RAS n = 2, FT 1). Gill, skin, digesta from six juvenile along with...
In the age of Anthropocene, ocean has typically been viewed as a sink for pollution. Pollution is varied, ranging from human-made plastics and pharmaceutical compounds, to human-altered abiotic factors, such sediment nutrient runoff. As global population, wealth resource consumption continue grow, so too does amount potential pollution produced. This presents us with grand challenge which requires interdisciplinary knowledge solve. There sufficient data on human health, social, economic,...
Amoebic gill disease (AGD) affects the marine culture phase of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in Tasmania. Here, we describe histopathological observations AGD from smolts, sampled weekly, following transfer to estuarine/marine sites. was initially detected histologically at week 13 post-transfer while gross signs were not observed for a further post-transfer. Significant increases (P < 0.001) proportion affected filaments occurred weeks 18 and 19 coinciding with cessation halocline...
Varicella can be a severe illness in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children. The licensed, live attenuated varicella vaccine is safe and immunogenic HIV-infected children with minimal symptoms good preservation of CD4(+) T cells (Centers for Disease Control Prevention immunologic category 1).To study the safety immunogenicity this varicella-zoster (VZV)-naive, moderate and/or more pronounced past or current decreases cell counts, such (age, 1-8 years) received 2 doses 3 months...
Cathelicidins are a family of antimicrobial peptides that act as effector molecules the innate immune system with broad-spectrum properties. These evolutionary conserved cationic host-defence integral components response fish, which generally believed to rely heavily on defences invading pathogens. In this study we showed Atlantic salmon cathelicidin 1 and 2 (asCATH1 asCATH2) stimulated peripheral blood leukocytes increasing transcription chemokine interleukin-8. Further, functional...

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the most serious health problem in Atlantic salmon cultured Tasmania. Our field investigation examined prevalence of AGD during 2 years, every year for up to 7 months after transfer sea water. The relationship between environmental factors and was determined. Additionally, effects adding levamisole freshwater baths were investigated a trial. recorded on all farms, except farm A, which did not move from brackish site full‐salinity study. showed bimodal...
