Drake, Riley S. Drake, Vincent N. Miao, Vincent N. Miao, Vincent N. Miao, Vincent N. Miao, Nancy K. Nyakoe, Dominic S. Y. Amuzu, Vincent Appiah, Yaw Aniweh, Yaw Bediako, Saikou Y. Bah, Alex K. Shalek, Alex K. Shalek, Alex K. Shalek, Alex K. Shalek, Gordon A. Awandare, Thomas D. Otto, Lucas Amenga-Etego

“…On average, patients were characterized by a higher fractional abundance of monocytes and an upregulation of innate immune responses, including those to type I and type II interferons and tumor necrosis factor-alpha signaling via NFκB. Further, in the patients, we identified more putative interactions between antigen-presenting cells and proliferating CD4 T cells, and naïve CD8 T cells driven by MHC-I and MHC-II signaling pathways, respectively. …”

Effect of ectoparasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis on the histopathology and gill and gut microbiota of goldfish (Carassius auratus) by Xialian Bu, Xialian Bu, Xianqi Peng, Xianqi Peng, Lei Huang, Lei Huang, Yu Zhao, Jinbiao Jiao, Jinbiao Jiao, Jian Zhu, Jing Chen, Jing Chen, Xiaohong Huang, Xiaohong Huang, Aqin Zheng, Aqin Zheng, Huantao Qu, Jiayun Yao, Jiayun Yao

“…Meanwhile, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was conducted to analyze the difference of gill and gut microbiota between I. multifiliis-infected and uninfected goldfish.ResultsHistopathological examination revealed that I. multifiliis has induced significant damage to the gills of goldfish, characterized by lamellae fusion, cell hyperplasia, cell hyperaemia, inflammatory infiltration, necrosis and desquamation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing result showed that alpha and beta diversity of gill microbiota was significantly reduced in the I. multifiliis-infected group, while no significant changes were observed in gut microbiota. …”
