HSMI-CMS-Vacc - Development of vaccines against HSMI and CMS In Atlantic salmon

Research project

There is a need for vaccines against HSMI and CMS, as these diseases are causing losses and reduced welfare in Norwegian salmon farming today. Being able to culture virus in cells is the basic step for producing and studying a virus, and allows for testing and production of whole virus vaccines. We aim to develop and optimize culturing methods for PRV and PMCV, which have been difficult to propagate. We have already created a strong basis for this work by being able to culture PRV in fish primary cells.

ISMOTOOL - In-situ molecular-based monitoring: a tool for tackling the operational and environmental challenges of aquaculture

Research project

ISMOTOOL will test out the application of an Environmental Sampling Processor (ESP) for in-situ real-time monitoring of selected fish pathogens (Paramoeba perurans and Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and escaped farmed fish. The EPS is a compact and fully robotized underwater floating laboratory that analyzes seawater samples for species of interest using targeted molecular detection methods.

MucoPath – mucosal pathogenesis and pathogens

Research project

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.
