Immune cells sense and react to a multitude of factors including both host and microbe-derived signals. Understanding how cells translate these cues into particular cellular behaviors is a complex yet critical area of study. We have previously shown that both neutrophils and macrophages are important for controlling the fish pathogen Streptococcus iniae. Here, we report both host and bacterial ...

Lactococcus garvieae junior synonym Enterococcus seriolicida) is an emerging zoonotic agent isolated from economically important fish (rainbow trout and yellowtail), from cattle, and from humans. Clindamycin susceptibility is the only phenotypic test which can differentiate L. garvieae from Lactococcus lactis, another emerging agent in humans. A PCR assay for the identification of L. garvieae w...

Angelica dahurica (Fisch. Ex Hoffm) is an important traditional Chinese herb which is widely used in curing acne, ulcers, carbuncles, rheumatism, headaches and toothaches. A systematic antifungal bioassayguided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract from A. dahurica led to the isolation of six coumarins, namely, suberosin, bergapten, alloimperatorin, xanthotoxol, 5-methoxy-8-hydroxypsoralen...

Systemic pathogens have developed numerous strategies for evading the defenses of the host, permitting dissemination and multiplication in various tissues. One means of survival in the host, particularly in the bloodstream, has been attributed to the ability to avoid phagocytosis via capsular polysaccharide. To further define the virulence capacity of Streptococcus iniae, a zoonotic pathogen wi...

Nowadays, plant allelopathy, as a new type of biological algal and/or bacterial inhibition technology, has attracted extensive attention. Eight substances were isolated and identified from Jussiaea stipulacea Ohwi, five concentration gradients, well control (0, 1.25, 5, 10, 20, 50 mg/L) set, with three parallels in each group, then sampled detected at 24, 48, 72, 96 h. When the was mg/L, rate A...

CD96 is a membrane-bound receptor discovered in humans 1992 that mainly present natural killer cells and T derived from haematopoietic performs immune functions. Based on the sequence of obtained red seabream (Pagrus major), phylogenetic analysis with other species, infections normal fish, Streptococcus iniae sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), expression was conducted using real-time polymerase chain...
