Transcriptomic analysis of red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus infected Asian seabass Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790)

Length-Weight Relationship of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) from Pichavaram Mangrove Wa- ters, South East Coast of India

The length-weight relationship of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, Centropomidae) was estimated for the first time based on a wild population; specimens were collected from Pichavaram mangrove waters during October 2003 to September 2004. A highly significant correlation between length and weight, as a relative condition changing in the course of the year, were particularly observed. Thes...

Immunolocalisation of nervous necrosis virus indicates vertical transmission in hatchery produced Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer Bloch)—A case study

A probable vertical mode of piscine nodavirus transmission is reported in the present investigation based on a case of nodavirus associated larval mortalities in hatchery produced Asian sea bass. Polyclonal rabbit anti-SJNNV antibodies (SGWak97) detected the viral antigens in the tissue sections from the eggs and the larvae at different time intervals from 1 to 42 days post hatch (dph). Immunop...

Analysis of Stress-Responsive Transcriptome in the Intestine of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) using RNA-Seq

Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and regulated pathways in response to stressors using a whole-genome approach is critical to understanding the mechanisms underlying stress responses. We challenged Asian seabass with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Vibrio harveyi, high salinity and fasting, and sequenced six cDNA libraries of intestine samples using Roche 454 RNA-seq. Over 1 mi...

Distribution of red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) antigens in nervous and non-nervous organs of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during the course of an experimental challenge

The distribution of red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) antigens was examined by immunohistochemistry in the nervous and non-nervous organs of juvenile European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during the course of an intramuscular infection. Histological changes resulting from the infection were evaluated from 3 days to 2 months post-infection. The specific antibody response was a...
