Article Synopsis
- A probiotic has shown effectiveness in enhancing water quality, fish growth, and immune response in aquaculture, with potential as a vaccine adjuvant.
- Researchers used spores to deliver the VP2 protein from the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), confirming successful expression through Western blot analysis.
- Both the modified and original strains of the spores stimulated an immune response in rainbow trout, producing anti-IPNV antibodies, indicating a promising approach for vaccination.

Gelling ability of a bean protein isolate (BPI) obtained from a naturally low-lectin variety (Phaseolus vulgaris var. Almonga) was analysed. For that purpose differences on gels processing: concentration (14% and 17%), salt addition (0 and 2%), and pH (6.

Proteins play an important role in many reproductive functions such as sperm maturation, sperm transit in the female genital tract or sperm-oocyte interaction. However, in general, little information concerning reproductive features is available in the case of aquatic animals. The present study aims to characterize the proteome of both spermatozoa and seminal plasma of bottlenose dolphins () as a model organism for cetaceans.

Recent studies suggest that short pentraxins in fish might serve as biomarkers for not only bacterial infections, as in higher vertebrates including humans, but also for viral ones. These fish orthologs of mammalian short pentraxins are currently attracting interest because of their newly discovered antiviral activity. In the present work, the modulation of the gene expression of all zebrafish short pentraxins (CRP-like proteins, CRP1-7) was extensively analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) is one of the worst viral threats to fish farming. Non-virion (NV) gene-deleted VHSV (dNV-VHSV) has been postulated as an attenuated virus, because the absence of the gene leads to lower induced pathogenicity. However, little is known about the immune responses driven by dNV-VHSV and the wild-type (wt)-VHSV in the context of infection.

Article Synopsis
- * Currently, vaccines for WNV are licensed only for equids, highlighting the need for avian vaccines to protect both wild and domestic bird populations, especially endangered species and those in rehabilitation or zoos.
- * Various vaccine types have been tested for effectiveness in birds, but challenges such as cost, low pathogenicity in some species, and achieving collective immunity in wild populations remain barriers to widespread implementation.
