Creator:: Schuster, Corbin J.
Abstract:: Pseudoloma neurophilia is the most common pathogen reported in zebrafish (Danio rerio) research facilities and is an important threat to the zebrafish model. This microsporidian parasite can cause clinical disease, but more importantly is a causative agent of non-protocol induced variation in research. Studies utilizing infected zebrafish, could potentially confound...

Creator:: Piacentini, Stephen Carl
Abstract:: Erythrocytic inclusion body syndrome (EIBS), a viral disease of salmon, was investigated. Reliable artificial infections were established in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) via intraperitoneal injection of homogenized kidney, spleen, and blood from naturally infected animals. By examining the exposed fish periodically for viral inclusion bodies and hematocrits, the disease progression...

Full Text:: Guntenberger, Dan Rockey, Scott LaPatra, and Dr. Jerri Bartholomew was invaluable. A special thanks to Karen

Creator:: Humphreys, Ian R.
Abstract:: Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....

Creator:: Tanaree, Dan D.
Abstract:: Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...

Creator:: Walters, Sarah P.
Abstract:: Aquatic fecal contamination from non-point sources impairs environmental health and serves as a vehicle for transmission of waterborne disease, resulting in economic losses worldwide. Accurate methods of diagnosing fecal pollution and its source are needed to prevent human exposure, remediate pollution, and reduce economic impacts. In order to obtain this...

Creator:: Roach, Holly B.
Abstract:: Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...
