Indo-Norwegian project for the development of candidate vaccines for fish

I dette prosjektet videreførtes enkelte aktiviteter fra det forutgående norsk-indiske samarbeidsprosjektet InNoVacc. Prosjektet vil bidra til utvikling av antigener som kan ha potensiale til å inngå i fiskevaksiner, og i morfologisk karakterisering virusinfeksjoner hos tropisk havabbor. I dette p...

Fish Virus Vaccines (ViVaFish)

Kontroll av virussykdommer er nødvendig dersom akvakultur skal være langsiktig miljømessig og etisk bærekraftig. ViVaFish vil frembringe ny kunnskap, verktøy og metoder som er relevante for vaksinering av oppdrettsfisk mot virussykdommer, og redusere de mangler som finnes i dagens forebyggende ar...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

InNoVacc. Indo-Norway platform for developing candidate vaccines to invertebrate, piscine and avian species.

Vaccination is essential to large-scale control of infectious diseases affecting commercial aquatic and avian farming. Nevertheless, modern aquaculture lacks effective vaccines against several pathogens due to lack of understanding of their immune system and development of effective immunostimula...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

The potential use of recombinant Salmonid alphavirus in development of prophylactic and therapeutic measures against viral fish diseases

Recently, the University of Bergen (UB) engaged a PhD student in a 4-year position (project start Mars 1st 2007), aiming at developing a full-length recombinant salmonid alphavirus 3 (SAV3). This subtype of SAV is the etiologic agent of pancreas disease ( PD) in farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway. ...
