Transcription of IVIAT and Virulence Genes in Subsp. Infecting .

subsp. () is responsible for disease outbreaks in marine aquaculture worldwide. , a valuable fish species for aquaculture in the south of Europe, is frequently affected by this pathogen.

Insights into the fecal microbiota of captive Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus).

The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is an endangered species restricted to several areas of Spain and Portugal. Its low genetic diversity likely provokes immune depression and high susceptibility to infectious diseases. The intestinal microbiota is closely related to host health and nutrition.

Transcription of immune related genes in Solea senegalensis vaccinated against Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida. Identification of surrogates of protection.

Solea senegalensis is a flatfish with a great potential for aquaculture, but infectious diseases restrict its production, being this fish species highly susceptible to Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp) infections. A better understanding of the mechanisms related to fish immune response is crucial for the development of effective approaches in disease management.

Use of in vivo induced technology to identify antigens expressed by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida during infection of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis).

Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp), the causative agent of photobacteriosis, is an important pathogen in marine aquaculture that affects many different fish species worldwide, including Solea senegalensis, an important fish species for aquaculture in the south of Europe. Bacteria express different repertoires of proteins in response to environmental conditions and when invading a host, sense in vivo environment and adapt by changing the expression of specific proteins.

Two routes of infection with Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida are effective in the modulation of the transcription of immune related genes in Solea senegalensis.

The marine fish pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp) is responsible for important disease outbreaks affecting cultured fish species including the flatfish Solea senegalensis. In the present work, transcription of iron metabolism related genes (TF, FERR-M, HP-1 and HAMP-1) as well as innate immune system components such as complement proteins (C3 and C7), lysozyme (LYS-G), TNF family (TNFα, TRAF-3), NCCRP-1 and heat shock protein encoding genes (HSP70, HSP90AA, HSP90AB and GP96) has been determined in the liver and kidney of S.
