Virtually all studies of phage infections investigate bacteria growing exponentially in rich media. In nature, however, phages largely encounter non-growing cells. Bacteria entering stationary phase often activate well-studied stress defense mechanisms that drastically alter the cell, facilitating its long-term survival. An understanding phage-host interactions such conditions is major importance from both an ecological and therapeutic standpoint. Here, we show bacteriophage T4 can...
Lumpfish is utilized as a cleaner fish to biocontrol sealice infestations in Atlantic salmon farms. Aeromonas salmonicida, Gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogen, the causative agent of furunculosis several species, including lumpfish. In this study, lumpfish were intraperitoneally injected with different doses A. salmonicida calculate LD50. Samples blood, head-kidney, spleen, and liver collected at time points determine infection kinetics. We determined that LD50 102 CFU per dose....
Lumpfish ( Cyclopterus lumpus ) have become the predominant cleaner fish species used in North American salmon aquaculture. Vibrio anguillarum is a frequent pathogen of lumpfish Atlantic Canada, and current vaccines against local isolates conferred low to moderate efficacy. This study evaluated safety efficiency V. autogenous vaccine under controlled field conditions. Two trials were conducted following Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations before trial testing. The first was...
