Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a protozoan parasite that poses a significant threat to the aquaculture and ornamental fish industries, infecting various parts of freshwater fish.
- Researchers used transgenic zebrafish larvae to explore the early immune responses to this parasite by analyzing gene expression and the behavior of immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages.
- Findings revealed that while zebrafish larvae exhibit an active local immune response, including the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps, the overall systemic inflammation remains mild, indicating the parasite's ability to evade stronger immune reactions through its dynamic movement.
