Several hypotheses explain the prevalence of undifferentiated sex chromosomes in poikilothermic vertebrates. Turnovers change master determination gene, chromosome or system (e.g. XY to WZ). Jumping genes stay main triggers but translocate other chromosomes. Occasional recombination sex-reversed females) prevents degeneration. Recent research has uncovered conserved heteromorphic even homomorphic several clades non-avian and non-mammalian Sex sturgeons (Acipenseridae) been a long-standing...
Abstract Smoltification is a metamorphic event in salmon life history, which initiates downstream migration and pre-adapts juvenile for seawater entry. While number of reports concern thyroid hormones smoltification, few inconclusive studies have addressed the potential role thyrotropin (TSH). TSH composed α-subunit common to gonadotropins, β-subunit conferring hormone specificity. We report presence functional divergence duplicated paralogs ( tshβa tshβb ) Atlantic salmon. Phylogeny synteny...
To assess the capacity of a new drug delivery nanocapsule (NC) with double shell hyaluronic acid and protamine to overcome biological barriers using zebrafish model.NCs were prepared by solvent displacement method, tagged fluorescent makers physicochemically characterized. Toxicity was evaluated according Fish Embryo Acute test, permeability tested exposing zebrafish, without chorion, NCs.Toxicity NCs very low as compared that control nanoemulsion. Double-shell able cross chorion skin.Beyond...
The zebrafish model can play a role in education because of its suitability for manipulation and attractiveness to students compared traditional lecture-based instruction. Furthermore, offer advantages over other species. Seeing as fewer are entering science degree programs, this project has been developed encourage scientific vocations among secondary school students. To do so, an aquarium was given 114 schools so that they could look after adult zebrafish, mate them, visualize embryo...

In spite of many decades research, the spawning migration European eel Anguilla anguilla from coast to Sargasso Sea remains a mystery. particular, role swimbladder as buoyancy regulating structure is not yet understood. this study, we exercised silver eels in swim tunnel under elevated hydrostatic pressure. The transcriptome gas gland tissue these was then compared known (control) cells. Due high infection rate population with parasite Anguillicola crassus, comparison also included an group...
Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis is widely prevalent in I. ricinus across Europe and has been associated with human disease. However, diagnostic modalities are limited, much still unknown about its biology. Here, we present the first complete genomes directly derived from wildlife reservoir host tissues, using both long- short-read sequencing technologies. This pragmatic approach provides an alternative to obtaining sufficient material clinical cases, a difficult task for emerging infectious...
Ceratothoa oestroides (Cymothoidea, Isopoda) is a generalist crustacean parasite that negatively affects the economic sustainability of European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) aquaculture in North-East Mediterranean. While mortalities are observed fry and fingerlings, infection juvenile adult fish result approximately 20% growth delay. A transcriptomic analysis (PCR array, RNA-Seq) was performed on organs (tongue, spleen, head kidney, liver) from infected vs. -free fingerlings. Activation...
