Nodular gill disease (NGD) is an emerging condition associated with amoeba trophozoites in freshwater salmonid farms. However, unambiguous identification of the pathogens still must be achieved. This study aimed to identify the amoeba species involved in periodic NGD outbreaks in two rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms in Northeastern Italy.

- Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is linked to 15% of chronic kidney disease cases, with about 30% of patients under 25 showing mutations in one of over 40 genes.
- Researchers identified nine recessive mutations in the SGPL1 gene in seven families with SRNS and related symptoms, which lead to reduced SGPL1 protein activity and mislocalization in cells.
- The study revealed that SGPL1 mutations contribute to SRNS and its syndromic features by impairing cellular functions, as shown in yeast and Drosophila models.
Becton Dickinson Phoenix Yeast ID Panel was compared to the Remel RapID Yeast Plus System using 150 recent clinical yeast isolates and the API 20C AUX system to resolve discrepant results. The concordance rate between the Yeast ID Panel and the RapID Yeast Plus System (without arbitration) was 93.3% with 97.
