journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 00:32 authored by Barbara NowakBarbara Nowak, Valdenegro-Vega, V, Crosbie, P, Andrew BridleAndrew BridleAmoebic infections in fish are most likely underestimated and sometimes overlooked due to the challenges associated with their diagnosis. Amoebic diseases reported in fish affect either gills or internal organs or may be systemic. Host response ranges from hyperplastic response in gill infections to inflammation (including granuloma formation) in internal organs. This review focuses on the immune response of Atlantic salmon to Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD).
