Transcriptomic responses of copepodid sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) exposed to cypermethrin (BetamaxÂ®)

Project description:This study investigates transcriptomic responses of Atlantic salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis exposed to cypermethrin, a commonly used antiparasitic agent used in aquaculture. Copepodid L. salmonis were exposed to cypermethrin (BetamaxÂ®) at a concentration of 1.0ppb An in vitro bioassay experiment was conducted using cypermethrin exposures on copepodid (larvae) sea lice (F1 generation) collected from BMA-2a New Brunswick, Canada in 2014. The bioassay exposed copepodids to 1.0 Î¼g/L cypermethrin or a sea water control for 24 hours in glass beakers (VWR) at 12 Â± 1oC. Each condition had a total volume of 500mL with six replicates and approximately 500 lice per beaker. After 24 hours, pools of ~500 copepodids were flash frozen for RNA extractions. Post 24-hours, lice were assessed for survival similarly to the technique used for staging and enumeratio first

Sex-Biased Gene Expression and Sequence Conservation in Pacific and Atlantic Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Project description:This study investigates sex-biased gene expression between populations of Atlantic and Pacific salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. Two Atlantic L. salmonis populations were previously used for an array study (GSE56024) while a third dataset using Pacific L. salmonis was novel. Using all three populations, a consensus-based, meta-analysis approach was used to identify sex-biased and sex-specific genes. Two separate experiments were conducted, one for Atlantic and one for Pacific salmon lice. As the Atlantic data has been previously published for other comparisons (GSE56024), only the Pacific data is uploaded here. Lice from three populations (2 in the Atlantic and 1 in the Pacific) were collected for in vitro bioassay analysis using emamectin benzoate. After 24hrs, lice were collected as per treatment protocol below. Males and females from all populations were compared separately before forming a consensus probe list of sex-biased genes concordantly expressed across all three populations. Please note that each raw data file contains three or four 'block' data and each block data correspond to individual sample raw data. Therefore, each raw data file contains raw data for 3-4 samples (as indicated in the description field).

Transcriptomic responses to emamectin benzoate in Pacific and Atlantic Canada salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis with differing levels of drug resistance

Project description:This study investigates the baseline or inducible differences in between populations of Atlantic salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis with differing levels of resistance to the parasiticidal drug emamectin benzoate (EMB), as well as the induced effects of EMB exposure to Pacific salmon lice. F1 generation lice were exposed in bioassays to a dilution series of emamectin benzoate. Two separate experiments were conducted, one for Atlantic and one for Pacific salmon lice (to be analyzed separately). Atlantic pre-adult salmon lice, separated into male and female, and sensitive or resistant to EMB populations, and exposed to a dilution series: 0 (control), 0.1, 25, 300, and 1000 parts per billion EMB. For each combination four biological replicates were included, except male resistant 25 (n = 3) and female resistant 300 (n = 2). Pacific pre-adult lice of both sexes were exposed to a dilution series: 0 (control), 25, 50 parts per billion EMB.

Institute of Aquaculture Lepeophtheirus salmonis constitutive gene expression analysis

Project description:Caligid copepods, also called sea lice, are common ectoparasites of wild and farmed marine fish. The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (KrM-xyer, 1837) has emerged as a serious problem for salmon farming in the Northern hemisphere. The annual cost of sea lice to the global salmon mariculture industry has been estimated at M-^@300 million, of which the majority accounts for the cost of chemically treating the farmed salmon. The treatments available for salmonids with sea lice infestation have been limited with a large scale reliance on single products and the use of antiparasitics with similar modes of action, which when used over a long period of time can enhance the selection pressure for reduced sensitivity. Two L. salmonis laboratory strains, established from field isolates and differing in susceptibility to emamectin benzoate (EMB) were studied using a custom sea louse 15K oligonucleotide microarray and RT-qPCR. The aim of the present study was to identify differential expression of transcripts between these two strains to identify potential constitutive gene expression changes associated with reduced susceptibility to EMB. Adult male salmon lice were sampled without exposure to antiparasitic agents for the purpose of studying gene expression from unchallenged individuals. In this study changes in expression of Glutamate-gated Chloride channel (GluCl) subunits, considered the major target site for avermectin (AVM) drugs in invertebrates, was not observed, but expression changes were seen for alternative ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) subunits that form an ion channels shown to interact with AVMs in vertebrates, but which is not traditionally considered to be a target site for AVMs in invertebrates. We hypothesise that these LGIC subunits represent additional EMB target sites in salmon lice, and that the down-regulation of these channel subunits in this EMB-resistant strain is related to the resistance phenotype.

Enhanced transcriptomic responses in the Pacific salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis oncorhynchi to the non-native Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar suggests increased parasite fitness

Project description:This study investigates host-specific gene expression of the Pacific salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis oncorhynchii, while parasitizing a resistant host (Coho salmon), two susceptible hosts (Atlantic salmon, Sockeye salmon), and a population with-held hosts (starved), over 48 hrs.
