MHC II α polymorphism of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, and its association with the susceptibility to Gyrodactylus cichlidarum (Monogenea) infection
2022-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, is among the most preeminent aquaculture species in the world. In aquaculture systems, this species is vulnerable to various pathogens including Gyrodactylus cichlidarum (Monogenea). The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, a highly polymorphic gene superfamily, have vital roles in adaptive immunity and are closely associated with disease resistance. In the present stu...
