Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are found widely distributed through Nature, and participate
in the innate host defense of each species. Fish are a great source of these peptides, as they …

Fish are a major component of the aquatic fauna. Like other organisms, fish secrete different
kinds of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are positively charged short amino-acid-chain …

Fish antimicrobial peptides (AMP s) are small peptides whose actions have great
implications in the innate immune response of teleost fish, being considered critical as the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified throughout the metazoa suggesting their
evolutionarily conserved nature and their presence in teleosts is no exception. AMPs are …

Over the last forty years global aquaculture presented a growth rate of 6.9% per annum with
an amazing production of 52.5 million tonnes in 2008, and a contribution of 43% of aquatic …

Piscidins are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that play important roles in helping fish resist
pathogenic infections. Through comparisons of tilapia EST clones, the coding sequences of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are found widespread in nature and possess antimicrobial
and immunomodulatory activities. Due to their multifunctional properties, these peptides are …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMP s) are the key components of the innate immune system and
perform the various biological function which offers immunocompetence and homeostasis to …

Fish is an important source of antimicrobial peptides. This study aimed to identify and screen
antibacterial peptides with excellent antibacterial activity derived from sturgeon spermary …

Piscidins, important components of the innate (nonspecific) immunity system in fish, have
potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities. In this study, we reported a …
