Evolution of the zebrafish model: from development to immunity and infectious disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The successful zebrafish developmental model has now expanded to being used as a model for the analysis of host-pathogen interactions during infectious disease. Numerous pathogens have been demonstrated to infect zebrafish and new mechanisms of virulence, as well as host defense have been uncovered using this new model. In this review we summarize the literature on how the zebrafish infectious disease model is being used to decipher virulence mechanisms used by various pathogens and the host defense mechanisms initiated to combat infection.

Review of the Ethical and Technical Principles of Working with Zebrafish as a Species of the Biological Model in Medical Science Studies
The Zebrafish is a preeminent model organism that, with its most prominent features, has expanded the boundaries of science in many disciplines. Characteristics of this small freshwater fish, with the help of biologists, showed that it has a highly comparable genetic with mammals such as mice and rats. For example, the emergence of new and efficient methods for duplicating and editing the genom...

Background and Aims: Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute contagious viral disease of birds worldwide. The causative virus induces a persistent immune suppression following destroy B lymphocytes precursors in bursal lymphoid follicles. Vaccination is the main strategy for prevention of the disease in commercial poultry industry. Materials and Methods: To produce a live vaccine against th...
متن کاملRegulation of immunity and disease resistance by commensal microbes and chromatin modifications during zebrafish development.
How fish larvae are protected from infection before the maturation of adaptive immunity, a process which may take up to several weeks in most species, has long been a matter of speculation. Using a germ-free model, we show that colonization by commensals in newly hatched zebrafish primes neutrophils and induces several genes encoding proinflammatory and antiviral mediators, increasing the resis...

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected most countries in the world. Our knowledge of diagnostic tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is evolving, and it is important to have a clear understanding of the nature of the tests and the interpretation of their findings. In this paper, the purpose is to interpret the results of two typ...
متن کاملStreptococcus-zebrafish model of bacterial pathogenesis.
Due to its small size, rapid generation time, powerful genetic systems, and genomic resources, the zebrafish has emerged as an important model of vertebrate development and human disease. Its well-developed adaptive and innate cellular immune systems make the zebrafish an ideal model for the study of infectious diseases. With a natural and important pathogen of fish, Streptococcus iniae, we hav...
