Analysis tools to quantify dissemination of pathology in zebrafish larvae

Abstract excerpt

We describe new open source software called QuantiFish for rapid quantitation of fluorescent foci in zebrafish larvae, to support infection research in this animal model. QuantiFish extends the conventional measurements of bacterial load and number of bacterial foci to include measures for dissemination of infection. These are represented by the proportions of bacteria between foci and their spatial distribution....
