Humoral response in early stages on infection of cod (Gadus morhua L.) with atypical furunculosis

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was experimentally infected with the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromgenes (Asa), which causes atypical furunculosis in cod and other fish species. Uninfected fish and fish infected with two different bacterial dosages were used and blood samples collected be...

description Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was experimentally infected with the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromgenes (Asa), which causes atypical furunculosis in cod and other fish species. Uninfected fish and fish infected with two different bacterial dosages were used and blood samples collected before infection and after 1 and 6 days. The effect of infection on the following humoral parameters was determined: the total protein serum level, the concentration of cortisol, two types of pentraxins and IgM, and on the specific and natural antibody and anti-trypsin activity. The results showed that infection by Asa caused a significant increase in the stress hormone cortisol while other parameters showed limited and in general suppressive response to infection. Neither CRP PI nor CRP PII, the two types of cod pentraxins, acted as typical acute phase proteins in the early stages of infection. The short duration of the experiment may have influenced the limited response observed but the results also reflect the relatively slow immune response of cod. Þorskur (Gadus morhua) var sýktur með bakteríunni Aeromonas salmonicida undirteg. Achromogenes (Asa), sem veldur sjúkdómnum kýlaveikibróður í þorski og fleiri fisktegundum. Ósýktur fiskur og fiskur sýktur með tveim mismunandi skömmtum af Asa voru notaðir og blóðsýni tekin fyrir sýkingu og eftir 1 og 6 daga.
