Saprolegnia ferax contains an integrin homologue, identified by crossreactivity with antiserum to the consensus sequence of human/chick/Xenopus cytoplasmic domain beta 1-integrin, which is highly conserved. In non-reduced samples, this integrin was larger than the reported size range for beta 1-integrins, at 178 kDa. In reduced samples, there was a reducing agent-concentration-dependent convers...

Saprolegnia isolates within the recognized clades encompassing the taxa S. parasitica and S. diclina act as opportunist and aggressive pathogens to both fish and their eggs. They are responsible for significant economic losses in aquaculture, particularly in salmonid hatcheries. However, the identity, distribution and pathogenic significance of involved species often remain unexplored. In this ...

Malachite green (MG) residue in aquatic products is a widely concerning issue, and the possible source of MG contamination includes its illegal usage environmental pollution. A variety strategies for solving such problem have been proposed, research about them summarized this review. The aquaculture environments can be eliminated by adsorption, degraded advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), or b...

Fungal and oomycete pathogens cause many destructive diseases of plants and important diseases of humans and other animals. Fungal and oomycete plant pathogens secrete numerous effector proteins that can enter inside host cells to condition susceptibility. Until recently it has been unknown if these effectors enter via pathogen-encoded translocons or via pathogen-independent mechanisms. Here we...

The prevalence of serum antibodies against Saprolegnia parasitica in wild and farmed brown trout Salmo trutta from the province of Le6n (NW Spain) was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Blood samples from healthy and Saprolegnia-infected brown trout were collected over 2 yr with a seasonal periodicity (January, April, July and October) from a hatchery and river with frequent ...
