Amoebic gill disease (AGD) causes poor performance and death in salmonids. Mucins are
mainly comprised by carbohydrates and are main components of the mucus covering the …

Mucins are highly glycosylated proteins that make up the mucus covering internal and
external surfaces of fish. Mucin O-glycans regulate pathogen quorum sensing, growth …

Mucus, whereof the highly glycosylated mucins are a major component, protects the
epithelial mucosal surfaces. The aim of this study was to characterize the rainbow trout …

Aquaculture is a growing industry, increasing the need for understanding host–pathogen
interactions in fish. The skin and mucosal surfaces, covered by a mucus layer composed of …

Diseases cause ethical concerns and economic losses in the Salmonid industry. The mucus
layer comprised of highly O-glycosylated mucins is the first contact between pathogens and …

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is one of the main diseases affecting Atlantic salmon (Salmo
salar L.) mariculture. Hallmarks of AGD are hyperplasia of the lamellar epithelium and …

Carbohydrates can both protect against infection and act as targets promoting infection.
Mucins are major components of the slimy mucus layer covering the fish epithelia. Mucins …

The external surfaces of fish, such as gill and skin, are covered by mucus, which forms a thin
interface between the organism and water. Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a parasitic …

Disease outbreaks are limiting factors for an ethical and economically sustainable
aquaculture industry. The first point of contact between a pathogen and a host occurs in the …

Aeromonas salmonicida causes furunculosis in salmonids and is a threat to Atlantic salmon
aquaculture. The epithelial surfaces that the pathogen colonizes are covered by a mucus …
