Alpha-amylases are ubiquitously distributed throughout microbials, plants and animals. It is widely accepted that omnivorous crustaceans have higher α-amylase activity number of isoforms than carnivorous, but contradictory results been obtained in some species, carnivorous less studied. In addition, the physiological meaning polymorphism not well understood. this work we studied a lobster at gene, transcript, protein levels. was showed isoenzyme composition (i.e., phenotype) determines...
Crustaceans exhibit a remarkable variation in their feeding habits and food type, but most knowledge on carbohydrate digestion utilization this group has come from research few species. The aim of study was to make an integrative analysis dietary the spiny lobster Panulirus argus. We used complementary methodologies such as different assessments digestibility, activity measurements digestive metabolic enzymes, post-feeding flux nutrients metabolites. Several carbohydrates were well digested...
The sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi genome has opened the opportunity to apply reverse vaccinology strategy for identifying antigens with potential effects on lice development and its application in control. This study aimed explore efficacy of three vaccines against early stage infestation, assessing transcriptome modulation immunized Atlantic salmon. Therein, experimental groups Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) were vaccinated recombinant proteins: Peritrophin (prototype A), Cathepsin B), mix...
Infection processes displayed by pathogens require the acquisition of essential inorganic nutrients and trace elements from host to survive proliferate. Without a doubt, iron is crucial metal for all living organisms also pivotal component in host–parasite interactions. In particular, reduces available face infectious disease, increasing transport proteins’ expression activating heme synthesis degradation pathways. Moreover, recent findings have suggested that metabolism modulation fish...
The development of vaccines against sea lice in salmon farming is complex, expensive, and takes several years for commercial availability. Recently, transcriptome studies louse have provided valuable information identifying relevant molecules with potential use fish vaccines. However, the bottleneck vivo testing recombinant protein candidates, dosage, polyvalent formulation strategies. This study explored a cell-based approach to prospect antigens as candidate by comparison immunized fish....
Due to the reduced efficacy of delousing drugs used for sea lice control in salmon aquaculture, fish vaccines have emerged as one most sustainable strategies animal health. Herein, availability C. rogercresseyi and Salmo salar genomes increases capability identifying new candidate antigens using RNA sequencing computational tools. This study aimed evaluate effects two recombinant characterized peritrophin cathepsin proteins on transcriptome profiling Atlantic during a infestation. Four...
Caligus rogercresseyi is the main ectoparasite that affects salmon industry in Chile. The mechanisms used by parasite to support its life strategy are of great interest for developing control strategies. Due critical role insect peritrophins host-parasite interactions and response pest drugs, this study aimed identify characterize peritrophin-like genes present C. rogercresseyi. Moreover, expression was evaluated on parasites exposed delousing drugs such as pyrethroids azamethiphos....
