Expression and Immune Response Profiles in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) During Pathogen Challenge and Infection.

ABSTRACT: Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) are economically significant species in Mediterranean countries, serving essential roles in the aquaculture industry due to high market demand and nutritional value. They experience substantial losses from bacterial pathogens Vibrio anguillarum and Streptococcus iniae, particularly at the onset of the summer season. The immune mechanisms involved in fish infections by V. anguillarum and S. iniae remain poorly understood. This study investigated their impact through experiments with control and V. anguillarum- and S. iniae-infected groups for each species. Blood samples were collected at 1, 3, and 7 days post bacterial injection to assess biochemical and
