Uncovering iron regulation with species‐specific transcriptome patterns in Atlantic and coho salmon during a Caligus rogercresseyi infestation
11 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Salmon species cultured in Chile evidence different levels of susceptibility to the sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi. These differences have mainly been associated with specific immune responses. Moreover, iron regulation seems to be an important mechanism to confer immunity during the host infestation. This response called nutritional immunity has been described in bacterial infections, despite that no...
