ABSTRACT In the past couple of decades, applications environmental nucleic acids (eDNA and eRNA) analysis methods have expanded rapidly into various research fields. Recently, World Organisation for Animal Health presented guidelines use eDNA as a biomonitoring tool disease surveillance in aquaculture. this paper, profile Yersinia ruckeri was monitored over course experimentally induced red mouth rainbow trout. Before after mortality started, fish pathogen burden, clinical signs, immune...
The protozoan parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is an economically important for the aquaculture- and ornamental fish industry. abundant worldwide infects skin, gills fins of freshwater species. For approximately last fifty years innate protective immune mechanisms induced by I. have been in focus different hosts. By utilizing transgenic zebrafish, new tools to investigate this emerged. aim study was therefore elucidate early responses zebrafish larvae using gene expression vivo imaging...
Abstract Aquaculture industries face challenges in fish production, primarily due to disease occurrence. Clinical manifestations of these diseases often indicate a considerable advancement the pathological process. Infected experience morbidity, leading compromised welfare and substantial economic losses for production facilities. Therefore, prophylaxis early detection pathogens could allow facility managers intervene or treat before clinical signs occur. For first time, environmental...
The host-pathogen interactions are tripartite and include the host, pathogen, environment. For a long time, attention has mainly been addressed to host's immune mechanisms pathogen's virulence factors while environmental factor received less interest. About decade ago, studies on DNA (eDNA) started emerge as this approach is versatile for numerous research fields interest persistently growing. In present study, relationship between disease progression pathogen water level was investigated....
When diseases in fish are discovered, the show either clinical signs or behavioural changes. At this timepoint morbid and decreased welfare economic loss may be a consequence for production facilities. Therefore, prophylaxis early detection of pathogens before disease occur could present facility managers with possibility to intervene treat outcome. For first time, environmental DNA/RNA (collectively eNA) has been used detect salmonid pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. water hosting...
Farmed fish are regularly subjected to various stressors due farming practices, and their effect in the context of a disease outbreak is uncertain. This research evaluated effects unpredictable repeated stress rainbow trout challenged with ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, known cause white spot freshwater fish. Before after pathogen exposure, were handled random rotation three procedures. At 7 days post-infection (dpi), parasite burden was tank’s water, local systemic immune responses...
