As poikilothermic vertebrates, fish can experience changes in water temperature, and hence
body temperature, as a result of seasonal changes, migration, or efflux of large quantities of …

The environment impacts on the physiology and psychology of animals in a wide variety of
ways. If we can develop an understanding of how different environmental factors affect …

With lymphoid tissue anatomy different than mammals, and diverse adaptations to all
aquatic environments, fish constitute a fascinating group of vertebrate to study the biology of …

Three different immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes can be found in teleost fish, IgM, IgD, and the
teleost-specific IgT. IgM is considered to have a systemic activity, and IgT is attributed a …

Global climate change is predicted to lead to increased temperatures and more extreme
climatic events. This may influence host–parasite interactions, immunity and therefore the …

Temperature is an important environmental modulator of teleost immune activity.
Susceptibility of teleosts to temperature variation depends on the species‐specific adaptive …

Development of adaptive immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) surviving a
primary infection with 5× 105CFU Yersinia ruckeri O1 (LD50 dose) was investigated by …

Response mechanisms in teleosts against bacterial pathogens have been widely studied
following injection procedures applying preparations of killed bacteria. In contrast …

As key effector molecules of jawed vertebrate's adaptive immune system, immunoglobulins
are produced by B lymphocytes, either as a secretory form (antibody) or as a membrane …

Protection of rainbow trout fry following bath vaccination with a bacterin of Y. ruckeri O1, the
bacterial pathogen causing enteric red mouth disease (ERM), was investigated at 5, 15 and …
