• The Teleost Thymus in Health and Disease: New Insights from Transcriptomic and Histopathological Analyses of Turbot, Scophthalmus maximus 

  Ronza, Paolo; Robledo Sánchez, Diego; Losada García, Ana Paula; Bermúdez Pose, Roberto; Gómez Pardo, María Belén; Martínez Portela, Paulino; Quiroga Berdeal, María Isabel (MDPI, 2020)

  The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ that plays a pivotal role in the adaptive immune system. The immunobiology of the thymus in fish is considered to be similar to that of mammals, but it is actually poorly characterized ...

• Exposure of the Opportunistic Marine Pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae to Human Body Temperature Is a Stressful Condition That Shapes the Transcriptome, Viability, Cell Morphology, and Virulence 

  Matanza Fente, José Manuel; Rodríguez Osorio, Carlos (Frontiers, 2020)

  Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (Pdd), an important pathogen for marine animals, is also an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause fatal necrotizing fasciitis. The regulatory changes triggered by the temperature ...

• Genomic Signatures After Five Generations of Intensive Selective Breeding: Runs of Homozygosity and Genetic Diversity in Representative Domestic and Wild Populations of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) 

  Aramburu González, Óscar; Ceballos, Francisco; Casanova Chiclana, Adrián; Le Moan, Alan; Hemmer-Hansen, Jakob; Bekkevold, Dorte; Bouza Fernández, María Carmen; Martínez Portela, Paulino (Frontiers, 2020)

  Massive genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) has opened opportunities for analyzing the way in which selection shapes genomes. Artificial or natural selection usually leaves genomic signatures associated ...

• The expression of virulence factors in vibrio anguillarum is dually regulated by iron levels and temperature 

  Afonso Lages, Marta; Balado Dacosta, Miguel; Lemos Ramos, Manuel Luís (Frontiers Media, 2019)

  Vibrio anguillarumcauses a hemorrhagic septicemia that affects cold- and warm-wateradapted fish species. The main goal of this work was to determine the temperature-dependent changes in the virulence factors that could ...

• The fish pathogen Vibrio ordalii under iron deprivation produces the siderophore piscibactin 

  Ruiz, Pamela; Balado Dacosta, Miguel; Fuentes Monteverde, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez, Jaime; Jiménez, Carlos; Avendaño Herrera, Rubén Esteban; Lemos Ramos, Manuel Luís (MDPI, 2019)

  Vibrio ordaliiis the causative agent of vibriosis, mainly in salmonid fishes, and its virulencemechanisms are still not completely understood. In previous works we demonstrated thatV. ordaliipossess several iron uptake ...
