Creator:: Hambalek, Natalie M.
Abstract:: Rapid rates of biodiversity loss have supported the notion that Earth is experiencing a sixth major extinction event. The causes of worldwide biodiversity loss are multifaceted and context dependent. One of the most prominent groups experiencing population declines and extinctions are amphibians. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially...

Creator:: Bradley, Paul W.
Abstract:: The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...

Creator:: Simon, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...

Creator:: Ogut, Hamdi
Abstract:: A series of experiments with Aeromonas salmonicida and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were carried out to determine dynamics of the spread of infection in chinook salmon (1.2-1.98g) and rainbow trout (1.2-3.1g). It was found in experiments with A. salmonicida that fish infected by bath immersion became infectious at 4...

Creator:: Tantituvanont, Angkana
Abstract:: This dissertation describes two different projects. The first is the development of an oral DNA vaccine delivery system for fish. A novel oral DNA vaccine delivery system was developed for Rainbow Trout by combining non-viral vectors (polycationic liposomes or polycationic polymer) to facilitate the DNA vaccine's uptake by cell membranes...
