Immune responses of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to p,p-̓DDE and tributyltin

Creator:: Misumi, Ichiro
Abstract:: In this thesis, we examined the effects of the exposures to anthropogenic pollutants on the fish, primarily juvenile chinook salmon, immune system using newly and recently developed immune assays. In addition, we developed a new assay for measuring immunocompetence of fish. In the first chapter, the Alamar Blue assay was...

Effects of estuarine circulation patterns and stress on the migratory behavior of juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus sp.)

Creator:: Truelove, Nathan Kobun
Abstract:: For the first objective of this thesis, we attempt to understand the role of water flow and directionality in determining steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and spring/summer and fall Chinook (O. tschawytscha) migration patterns within the Columbia River Estuary and plume by integrating recent advances in biotelemetry and environmental observation and forecasting...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Re-examining Ceratomyxa shasta in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Stinson, Matthew E. T.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta infects salmonids in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America, occasionally causing losses in wild and captive populations. Host-specific parasite genotypes (O, I, II, III) were previously characterized molecularly using markers in the ribosomal DNA and phenotypically by type host in the Klamath River, CA/OR. This thesis sough...

Prespawning Mortality of Fall Creek Willamette Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): Evaluation of the Effects of a New Trap at the Adult Fish Collection Facility

Creator:: Carey, Katherine
Abstract:: Annual rates of prespawn mortality (PSM) in adult Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) trapped and transported upstream of dams in the Willamette River basin are high (often >40%) and could limit the ability to restore natural populations of spring Chinook salmon if not reduced. Improvements at the U.S. Army Corps of...

Mycobacterium abscessus genetic determinants associated with intrinsic resistance to antibiotics

Creator:: Gorzynski, Mylene
Abstract:: M. abscessus subsp. abscessus is a nontuberculous mycobacterium causing pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients. The treatment of MAB infections is challenging due to its natural resistance to most antibiotics. To identify MAB genetic factors that are involved in mechanisms of the antibiotic tolerance, we screened the library of 2,000 gene...

Gastrointestinal Parasitism in Healthy Show South American Camelids

Creator:: Kutzler, Colleen J.
Abstract:: Camelid health and parasitology experts disagree on what a “safe” level of internal parasitism is in camelids. The objective was to determine the levels of parasitism in show camelids (llamas and alpacas). The hypothesis was that fecal egg counts (FEC) in camelid would differ based upon geographic location, species (llama...

The Generation of a Zebrafish Microbial Culture Collection to Facilitate Mechanistic Understanding of Host-Microbe Interactions

Creator:: VanderHoek, Zoe K.
Abstract:: A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that relationships exist between the microbiome and vertebrate health and disease. The zebrafish is a frequently utilized model organism to support this claim. Specifically, its gut microbiome is an advantageous resource for the study of microbiome health and diversity. While it is an...

Exploration of the Phage Adsorption Mechanism in Mycobacterium abscessus Toward Improving the Efficacy of Current Antibiotics

Creator:: Gorzynski, Mylène
Abstract:: Background: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is a rapidly growing opportunistic pathogen that causes infections in immunocompromised patients. The highly impermeable cell wall and surface transport systems are major contributing factors to MAB intrinsic resistance, influencing the efficacy of bactericidal antibiotics. Phages are promising alternatives to antibiotics and have been used in...

The conserved biology of herpesvirus latency : a study in cyprinid herpesvirus 3

Creator:: Reed, Aimee N.
Abstract:: Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), commonly known as koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a member of the Alloherpesviridae and is a deadly pathogen for koi and common carp, Cyprinus carpio. It causes severe gill necrosis and nephritis, dermal ulceration and hemorrhage, and mass mortality of up to 100% of affected fish. Fish...
