The basal position of fish in vertebrate phylogeny makes them very attractive for genomic
and functional comparative immunity studies. Adaptive immunity arose early in vertebrate …

Amphibian skin is a mucosal surface in direct and continuous contact with a microbially
diverse and laden aquatic and/or terrestrial environment. As such, frog skin is an important …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are found widely distributed through Nature, and participate
in the innate host defense of each species. Fish are a great source of these peptides, as they …

This study investigated the effects of dietary curcumin on growth performance, non-specific
immunity, antioxidant capacity and related genes expression of NF-κB and Nrf2 signaling …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the natural antibiotics recognized for their broad-
spectrum resistance to bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, and influencing the host …

The increasing economic importance of fish parasitoses for aquaculture and fisheries has
enhanced the interest in the defence mechanisms against these infections. Both innate and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are generally considered as an essential component of
innate immunity, thereby providing the first line of defense against wide range of pathogens …

Fish antimicrobial peptides (AMP s) are small peptides whose actions have great
implications in the innate immune response of teleost fish, being considered critical as the …

Antimicrobial peptides are widely expressed in organisms and have been linked to innate
and acquired immunities in vertebrates. These compounds are constitutively expressed and …
