Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Jun 28, 2001
End Date: May 31, 2005

Objective:
To determine mechanisms of disease resistance in warm-water species of fish.

Approach:
Mechanisms of immunity (humoral and cell mediated) will be studied in warm-water fish species (particularly channel catfish, tilapia and hybrid striped bass) vaccination and challenge methods for bacteria (S. iniae, E. ictaluri, F. columnare) and parasite (Ichthyopthirius multitillis) established in our laboratory, will be used to investigate immune response and disease resistance.
