Expression of HSP70 family mRNAs in albino northern snakehead, Channa argus: Response to extreme temperature stress and bacterial infection

Enhanced resilience of marine fish to extreme environments by nano-ZnO exposure

“…Tissue-specific HSP 70 expression could explain this phenomenon during extreme environmental stress. 48 In the common carp Cyprinus carpio , gene HSP70 levels in the gills of the carp remained at the control values, whereas HSP70 expression in the liver increased by 2.8- to 3.7-fold. 49…”

Aphanomyces invadans: The Causative Agent of the Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome in Albino Northern Snakeheads

“…However, only two pathogens ( P. fluorescens and I . multifiliis ) and one experimental pathogen ( E. tarda ) have been reported in AT Northern Snakeheads (Ren and Wu 2016; Zhou et al 2017b, 2020b; Wu et al 2018). In the present study, we confirmed that A. invadans was a causative agent of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) in AT Northern Snakeheads.…”

“…Wild AT Northern Snakeheads are only found in China's Jialing waters so far, but farmed AT individuals have been cultured recently to become a promising genetic resource in aquaculture with the success of artificial breeding (Zhou et al 2020b). Studies aimed at providing better breeding and domestication of the AT Northern Snakehead have made great contributions to revealing the immune response to thermal and pathogenic stress (Zhou et al 2017b(Zhou et al , 2018(Zhou et al , 2020b. However, the lack of information on pathogen susceptibility is a potential threat in aquaculture of the AT, even though preventive strategies can reference the pathogens recorded in the BT.…”

Aeromonas veronii, a potential pathogen of enteritis in snakehead fish Ophiocephalus argus

“…In our study, A. veronii isolate HY2 was demonstrated to cause mortality in snakehead fish, further revealing its potential threat to fish farming. Apart from the virulence of the HY2 isolate, there might be other secondary factors that induce enteritis in snakehead fish such as poor water quality, temperature changes and over intensification of stocking density (Zhu et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020); these should also be raised as concerns. The development of antimicrobial resistance in A. veronii is a matter of concern (Tekedar et al, 2020).…”
