Sea lice: Interaction between host and parasite -Personal overseas research grant

Tildelt: kr 0,37 mill.

Sea lice are a major challenge in salmonid aquaculture globally. In Norway the lack of efficient control of this parasite has led to public concern regarding the sustainability of the industry. These concern both the health and welfare of farmed and wild salmonids in the coastal regions, where infestation pressure is high. Efficient tools to limit sea lice infestations is therefore crucial and has high economically impact. The aim of this proposal is to establish international collaboration between the Sea Lice Research Centre, which is world leading within sea lice research and internationally recognized scientists within the field of fish immunology in Denmark. This collaboration will support development of future sea lice vaccines and enhance knowledge of the crucial fish-parasite interaction. Unravelling of this interaction will provide knowledge that can be extended to many other (fish) pathogens. This collaboration will furthermore support the career of the female researcher and her students. The mobility stay described in this project will include three major scientific goals: 1) Participation in vaccine trials, 2) Study of fish response to sea lice including gene edited sea lice, 3) Comparative approach to the study of parasite response to infection in sensitive versus resistant fish. In addition, the proposal contains three collaboration and dissemination goals: 1) Building long lasting collaboration between the SLRC and host laboratory, 2) Establish contact between applicant and members of the host laboratory, 3) Shared publications
