Sheep (N=6) infested with Psoroptes ovis mites were bled weekly and circulating leukocytes isolated from their whole blood samples. RNA was extracted and processed onto Agilent Bovine Microarrays and differentially expressed genes identified between the following time points (0 (Baseline (pre-infest...
Molecular cytogenetic techniques such as microarray analysis have allowed for a “genotype-first” approach to the characterization of chromosome abnormalities: in the absence of clinical features suggestive of a specific syndrome, patients with similar copy number imbalances can be examined for commo...
Aquatic organisms are exposed to many toxic chemicals and interpreting the cause and effect relationships between occurrence and impairment is difficult. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) provides a systematic approach for identifying responsible toxicants. TIE relies on relatively uninforma...
Caligid copepods, also called sea lice, are common ectoparasites of wild and farmed marine fish. The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (KrM-xyer, 1837) has emerged as a serious problem for salmon farming in the Northern hemisphere. The annual cost of sea lice to the global salmon mariculture indu...
Transcriptional analysis of ovine skin response to infection with the parasitic mite Psoroptes ovis using the Agilent ovine transcriptome microarray platform. The results of statistical analysis (differential gene expression across the time course of infection was determined using a one way-analysis...
