Histology study and transcriptome analysis of the testis of Loach(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) in response to phenanthrene exposure

Gut-immunity modulation in Lepidocephalichthys guntea during Aeromonas hydrophila-infection and recovery assessed with transcriptome data

“…As time goes on, these investigations have evolved to various omics levels. Although investigations on the intestinal responses to Aeromonas infection have not yet been published, studies on skeletal muscle [ 27 ], gill and liver [ 28 ], skin [ 29 ], gonads [ 30 ], intestinal air-breathing function and nutrition uptake and gas exchange [ 31 , 32 ], have been investigated in loach fish. Despite the fact that the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) should have played a significant role in disease resistance among the four fundamental physical barriers created by a fish (gill-associated lymphoid tissues, skin-associated lymphoid tissues, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, and gut-associated lymphoid tissues), no research has been done to examine the pattern of immune response in the gut of loach fish under any pathogen-stress.…”
