Cross-national genomic surveillance of viral pathogens to support disease control in Atlantic salmon aquaculture
Background. The global aquaculture sector is expanding rapidly to meet the nutritional demands of a growing human population. Read more
Structural and biological characterisation of virulence factor in Gram-negative pathogens affecting aquaculture
Gram-negative pathogens are responsible for major disease problems in humans and animals, and a better understanding of the mechanisms for how these bacteria cause infections is key to identifying more effective ways to prevent and treat outbreaks. Read more

Investigating the cell biology of Neoparamoeba perurans, a causative agent of Amoebic Gill Disease, and its endosymbiont kinetoplastid, Perkinsela.
Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by the opportunistic amoebozoan parasite Neoparamoeba perurans, is a major disease in salmonid aquaculture [1-3] and there is an urgent need to mitigate the impact parasitic infections have on both fish welfare and sustainable growth in the sector. Read more
