Structural and functional analysis of the 57 kDa protein produced by the fish pathogen, Renibacterium salmoninarum

Creator:

Wiens, Gregory D.

Abstract:

Little is known about the virulence factors of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of salmonid bacterial kidney disease. The predominant protein produced by R. salmoninarum in broth culture or during infection is a 57/58 kDa protein (p57) which is associated with strain virulence. In this study monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...

produced by the fish pathogen, Renibacterium salmoninarum AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gregory D. Wiens
The effects of single and multiple pathogen and parasite infections on juvenile chinook and coho salmon during early marine residency

Creator:

Sandell, Todd A.

Abstract:

Nearly 3000 juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon captured in nearshore waters off the coasts of Washington and Oregon from 1999-2004 were tested for infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum, Nanophyetus salmincola, and skin metacercariae. First, three quantitative PCR primer/probe sets were compared for detection of R. salmoninarum; amplification...
