Immune evasion in Aquatic Rhabdoviral Pathogens:
Another area of focus in the lab involves immune evasion by Rhabdovirus that infect salmonid fish species and cause economic losses to the Rainbow Trout industry. The goals of the project include studying stress response pathways activated by various species of VHSV and flavobacteial pathogens to develop new vaccine candidates and antimicrobial peptides. The technology and knowledge gained from these studies will lead to eventually developing therapeutic options to improve Rainbow Trout production in the U.S.
