PREVALENCE, MOLECULAR TYPING, ANTIBIOGRAM AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF V. HARVEYI AND V. PARAHAEMOLYTICUS ISOLATED FROM GILTHEAD SEA BREAM (SPARUS AURATA)

Prevalence, molecular typing, antibiogram and histopathological changes of V. harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus isolated from Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)

Vibrionaceae are a common bacterial disease that affects both wild and farmed marine fishes and causes tremendous economic losses globally.In order to investigate the prevalence, molecular typing, antibiogram and pathogenicity of vibriosis among cultured sea bream, two hundred and fifty Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were collected randomly from

Recombinant Sj16 protein with novel activity alleviates hepatic granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japonicum associated with M2 macrophages in a mouse model

Abstract Background Potent granulomatous inflammation responses induced by schistosome eggs and resultant fibrosis are the primary causes of morbidity in schistosomiasis.Recombinant Sj16 (rSj16), a 16-kDa protein of Schistosoma japonicum produced in Escherichia coli, has been demonstrated to have novel immunoregulatory effects in vivo and in vitro.
