Description
Summary:As wild-capture fisheries exceed sustainable levels, aquaculture is expected to increase its importance as a source of fish products for a growing world population. Vaccination is a major prophylactic measure in modern aquaculture, but more efficient and more easily administered vaccines are needed. Mucosal delivery of vaccines could fulfil both these requirements, but a better understanding of the organization and function of mucosal lymphoid tissues including the gills, is needed. Akvakultur forventes å få økende betydning som kilde for fiskeprodukter etter hvert som fiske på viltlevende stammer overskrider bærekraftige nivåer. Vaksinasjon er et viktig sykdomsforebyggende tiltak i moderne akvakultur, men det er fortsatt behov for å utvikle mer effektive og praktisk anvendbare vaksiner. Slimhinnebaserte vaksiner kan bidra til dette, men for å kunne utvikle slike er det viktig med inngående forståelse av organisering og funksjon av slimhinneassosiert immunvev.
