Project description:Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that can infect a wide range of freshwater and marine fish. However, the immune evasion mechanisms of Edwardsiella tarda is not fully understood. We found that Edwardsiella tarda infection generally significantly upregulated and downregulated a lot of immune-related genes of zebrafish ZF4 cells using RNA-seq technology.
Project description:To determine the global gene transcriptional changes in channel catfish anterior kidney after immersion vaccination with attenuated Edwardsiella ictaluri compared to sham vaccinated catfsih control. The attenuated Edwardsiella ictaluri used for vaccination was Aquavac-ESC which was commercially available.
