Publication date: March 2019Source: Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Volume 86Author(s): Estefanía Muñoz-Atienza, Carlos Távara, Patricia Díaz-Rosales, Luis Llanco, Enrique Serrano-Martínez, Carolina TafallaAbstractFlavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiological agent of bacterial cold water disease (BCWD), also referred to as rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS), a disease with great economic impact in salmonid aquaculture. Despite this, to date, not many studies have analyzed in depth how the immune system is regulated during the course of the disease. In the current study, we have studied the transcription of several immune genes related to T and B cell activity in the skin of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) naturally infected with F. psychrophilum in a farm located in Lake Titicaca (...
