- De mariene vispathogeen Pasteurella piscicida: identificatie serologie en virulentie
- Description @en
- Pasteurella piscicida is a marine pathogen that is responsible for high economic losses in the culture of seabass and seabream
in the Mediterranean and yellowtail in Japan. Until recently there has been no efficient vaccin against pasteurellosis, the fish disease caused by P. piscicida.
This research aims:
- to construct a bacterial collection that contains Pasteurella piscicida strains isolated from different geographical areas and the main affected fish species;
- to gain more information about the epidemiology and taxonomy of P. piscicida and;
- to study the virulence mechanism of the pathogen.
- Description @nl
- Pasteurella piscicida is een mariene vispathogeen die verantwoordelijk is voor grote economische verliezen bij gekweekte zeebaars en zeebrasem in de Middellandse Zee en yellowtail in Japan.
Het doel van dit onderzoek is 3-ledig:
- een uitgebreide bacteriƫle collectie aanleggen van P. piscicida-stammen;
- inzicht verwerven over de epidemiologie en taxonomie vanP. piscicida en;
- fundamenteel inzicht bekomen over virulentiemechanismen van de pathogeen.
