The immune system is composed of two subsystems—the innate immune system and the
adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is the first to respond to pathogens and …

Due to direct contact with aquatic environment, mucosal surfaces of teleost fish are
continuously exposed to a vast number of pathogens and also inhabited by high densities of …

Immunoglobulins (Igs) are complex glycoproteins that play critical functions in innate and

The paper presents the problem of intestinal mucosa immunity in teleost fish. The immunity
of the intestinal mucosa in teleost fish depends on the elements and mechanisms with …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become a widely used vertebrate model for bacterial, fungal,
viral, and protozoan infections. Due to its genetic tractability, large clutch sizes, ease of …

The gastrointestinal immune system plays an important role in immune homeostasis
regulation. It regulates the symbiotic host-microbiome interactions by training and …

The momentous discovery of phagocytic activity in teleost B cells has caused a dramatic
paradigm shift from the belief that phagocytosis is performed mainly by professional …

Zinc (Zn) is an important trace element in fish diets that is required for growth, immunity and
antioxidant defense mechanisms. The current study assessed the effects of both organic and …
