Project description:Edwardsiella ictaluri is the causitive agent of enteric septicemia of catfish, one of the most important diseases impacting US catfish industry. The overall objective of this study is to identify E. ictaluri genes required for host encounter. 4-plex NimbleGen array study using total RNA obtained from wild type and mutant Edwardsiella ictaluri encountered with or without catfish fry. Each treatment had four biological replica and each plex had two probe sets.

The overall objective of this study is to identify E. ictaluri genes required for serum resistance. 4-plex array study using total RNA obtained from wild type and mutant Edwardsiella ictaluri exposed to heat-inactivated catfish serum and normal serum. Each treatment had four biological replica and each plex had two probe sets.
Project description:To determine the global gene transcriptional changes in vaccinated channel catfish anterior kidney after immersion challenge with a virulent Edwardsiella ictaluri compared to sham vaccinated catfish control. The attenuated Edwardsiella ictaluri used for vaccination was Aquavac-ESC which was commercially available, the virulent strain of Edwardsiella ictaluri is the AL93-58 strain.
