MucoPath primarily wishes to study host-pathogenic interaction at/in mucous surfaces of salmon. Further, we will undertake the development of biological (infection) models and analytical tools and methods that can support this primary goal.
We seek to survey the pan-genome and populations structure of Aeromonas salmonicida, particularly in relation to the observed association between A-layer type and host fish species.
The main goal is to generate the knowledge needed to enable the development of procedures for reduction of Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. To achieve this, the project will characterize the resistance of PRV to disinfection, and study differences in virulence between virus isolates.
The primary objective of Quality Calf is to provide science-based recommendations for a sustainable calf production, by investigating the relationship between feeding management strategies and their effect on calf health, welfare and production.
This is an integrative project aimed at exploring and developing new methodologies and framework for risk assessment and disease burden of antimicrobial resistance for the human population where the impact of the food chain and routes of transmission are crucial elements.
