Naturally occurring substitution in one amino acid in VHSV phosphoprotein enhances viral virulence in flounder.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a rhabdovirus that causes high mortality in cultured flounder. Naturally occurring VHSV strains vary greatly in virulence. Until now, little has been known about genetic alterations that affect the virulence of VHSV in flounder.

Molecular Identification and mRNA Expression Profiles of Galectin-9 Gene in Red Sea Bream () Infected with Pathogens.

Galectin () is a member of a family of β-galactoside-binding lectin. The members of this family play important roles in the recognition of carbohydrate ligands and in various other biological processes. In this study, we identified the gene encoding in () and analyzed its expression in various tissues after pathogen challenge.

RNA-seq transcriptome analysis in flounder cells to compare innate immune responses to low- and high-virulence viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a rhabdovirus that causes high mortality in cultured flounder. Viral growth and virulence rely on the ability to inhibit the cellular innate immune response. In this study, we investigated differences in the modulation of innate immune responses of HINAE flounder cells infected with low- and high-virulence VHSV strains at a multiplicity of infection of 1 for 12 h and 24 h and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based transcriptome analysis.

The First Detection of in Farmed Pacific Bluefin Tuna in South Korea, (Temminck and Schlegel, 1844).

The consumption of fish and shellfish worldwide is steadily increasing, and tuna is a particularly valuable fish species. However, infection caused by spp. is causing problems in many fish including the Pacific bluefin tuna (), and there is much controversy about the association of these infections with foodborne disease.

Data on molecular characterization and gene expression analysis of secretory carrier-associated membrane protein 5 (SCAMP5) from the red sea bream ().

Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are widely distributed integral membrane proteins implicated in membrane trafficking. Secretory carrier membrane protein 5 (SCAMP5) is expected to be involved in regulation of the immune response because it is expressed in a variety of immune tissues and promotes the secretion of cytokines in monocytes and macrophages. In this study, we performed an analysis of the molecular characteristics and phylogenetic of the SCAMP5 gene identified in (PmSCAMP5).
