Article Synopsis
- Poxviruses are large DNA viruses that can infect a variety of animals, including fish; the first genome sequence of a fish poxvirus from farmed Atlantic salmon has been identified.
- The study found that the gill was the main site of infection, with the virus causing cell death and leading to symptoms like lethargy and respiratory distress.
- Phylogenomic analysis revealed that this fish poxvirus is a primitive branch of chordopoxviruses, with a unique gene order and many genes of unknown function, indicating potential new protein structures.
Changes in gene expression of gastric mucosa during therapeutic acid inhibition.
Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol
July 2008
Background: Long-term therapy with potent acid inhibitors is a common treatment for gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) causes profound and continuous hypochlorhydria by inhibition of the proton pump in gastric parietal cells. Long-term hypergastrinaemia increases mucosal thickness and enterochromaffin-like cell density in oxyntic mucosa.

Pre-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were fed at levels of technical endosulfan equal to the European Union regulatory limit (5 microg kg(-1)) and at levels 10 and 100 times greater, for a total of 49 days with haematology (e.g.
