چکیده مقاله:

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the most important parasitic disease of Atlantic salmon industry inAustralia. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) experimentally infected with Neoparamoeba sp. apparently showedAGD gross signs on the gill and an amoebic-associated gill pathology. Physico-chemical factors of waterduring the experiment were monitored regularly and were approximately constant (temperature: 17oC,salinity: 35 g/l, total ammonia: 0.25 mg/l, pH = 7.9). In this study significant gill pathology was observedhistologically, and in all of the sections a multifocal hyperplasia and fusion of adjacent secondary lamellaewas seen. The severity of pathological changes observed in the sections did not always correspond with thenumber of amoebae and even occurred in the absence of amoebae. Some histopathological changes that were seen in the secondary lamellae are: thickening of the secondary lamellae due to hyperplasia, reduction in chloride cell density and an increase in mucous cell numbers of the epithelium. Some of neighboringsecondary lamellae was seen attached to one another, but entire fusion of the primary lamellae was notobserved. Amoebae were seen in all sections in significant densities mostly in the outer part of hyperplasictissues.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) exposed to cultured gill-derived Neoparamoeba branchiphila fail to develop amoebic gill disease (AGD)

Gill-derived Neoparamoeba spp. from Atlantic salmon cause amoebic gill disease (AGD) in naïve recipients. Atlantic salmon were inoculated with clonal gill-derived Neoparamoeba branchiphila that had been cultured in the presence or absence of Atlantic salmon cutaneous mucus. Neoparamoeba branchiphila did not elicit AGD and the supplementation of cultures with cutaneous mucus did not influence vi...

Transcriptome profiling the gills of amoebic gill disease (AGD)-affected Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): a role for tumor suppressor p53 in AGD pathogenesis?

Neoparamoeba spp. are amphizoic amoebae with the capacity to colonize the gills of some marine fish, causing AGD. Here, the gill tissue transcriptome response of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) to AGD is described. Tanks housing Atlantic salmon were inoculated with Neoparamoeba spp. and fish sampled at time points up to 8 days postinoculation (pi.). Gill tissues were taken from AGD-affected fi...

Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. were injected intraperitoneally with infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV)-infective tissue homogenate to clarify the tissue distribution of ISAV in a time course study. Fish were sampled at 11 different intervals between 1 and 40 d post-infection (p.i.) and mid-kidney, head kidney, liver, spleen, intestine, gills, muscle and heart were tested for the presence of...

Lysozyme transgenic Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)

Disease outbreaks are a major constraint to salmon aquaculture worldwide. Therefore, there is considerable interest in ¢nding means to alleviate this problem by enhancing their innate immune system. Because lysozyme is an important component of this system, we generated a line of transgenic Atlantic salmon using a gene construct consisting of a rainbow trout lysozyme gene under the control of t...
