The immune system of fish consists of two main components, innate and adaptive
immunities. Innate immunity is non-specific and acts as the primary line of protection against …

As physical barriers that separate teleost fish from the external environment, mucosae are
also active immunological sites that protect them against exposure to microbes and …

The mucosal surfaces of teleosts (bony fishes) are the major interface between fishes and
their immediate environment and serve as primary sites of entry for most pathogens. The …

Abstract the fish immune system is extremely complex and has considerable adaptive
potential. in osteichthyes, the system is formed by lymphopoietic organs which are important …

Teleost fish possess an adaptive immune system associated with each of their mucosal
body surfaces. Evidence obtained from mucosal vaccination and mucosal infection studies …

Cellular immune responses consist of innate and adaptive cell-mediated immune
mechanisms, where all leukocyte subpopulations are included. Among these are vital …

The immune system can be defined as a complex system that protects the organism against
organisms or substances that might cause infection or disease. One of the most fascinating …

An overview of the morphology of the immune system in teleost fishes is given drawing
principally on studies in only a few species. The major lymphoid tissues in teleost fishes are …

Fish are subjected to several insults from the environment, which may endanger animal
survival. Mucosal surfaces are the first line of defense against these threats, acting as a …

The defence against infections is the essential function of the immune system of all
Vertebrates. Fish present an efficient and developed immunologic response and in the case …
