Article Synopsis
- A bacterial pathogen causes winter-ulcer disease in Atlantic salmon, leading to higher mortality rates, poor fish welfare, and lower meat quality in farmed salmon.
- This study aimed to identify specific microRNAs (miRNAs) that respond to this pathogen by analyzing miRNA expression in infected salmon's head-kidney and lesion sites.
- Researchers found 17 miRNAs significantly expressed in the head-kidney and 39 in the lesions, suggesting these miRNAs regulate various immune and stress-related genes in response to the bacterial infection.
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) belongs to the Reoviridae family and is the only known fish virus related to the Orthoreovirus genus. The virus is the causative agent of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI), an emerging disease in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).
