Intestinal hyperplasia and neoplasms in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:

Paquette, Colleen Elizabeth

Abstract:

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become an increasingly important model organism for cancer research. There are several cancer models in which neoplasms are induced chemically or genetically. However, spontaneous (unknown etiology) neoplasms are rather common in zebrafish, particularly in older fish. For over a decade, spontaneous intestinal neoplasia and preneoplastic intestinal...

Pseudoloma neurophilia : progression of infection and transmission characteristics of a microsporidian parasite in a model vertebrate, Danio rerio

Creator:

Sanders, Justin L.

Abstract:

The microsporidian parasite, Pseudoloma neurophilia, is the most commonly diagnosed infectious disease in laboratory populations of the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Infections by P. neurophilia are generally subclinical, however, they can become acute either incidentally or due to experimental immune suppression. Non-protocol induced variation can confound results in laboratory experiments using...

Detection and transmission of Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium chelonae in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:

Peterson, Tracy Shawn

Abstract:

Mycobacteriosis is a common disease of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio). Different infection patterns occur in zebrafish depending on mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium marinum and M. haemophilum produce virulent infections associated with high mortality, whereas M. chelonae is more wide spread and not associated with high mortality. Identification of mycobacterial infections to...
