Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is considered to constitute one of the major health challenges in salmonid farming regions. AGD is believed to be a multifactorial condition involving both environmental and biological factors, while knowledge gaps still remain on the potential role of other pathogens such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses in the development of the disease.Based on current knowledge and expertise within the consortium (GMIT, NUIG, UCD & Marine Institute), this project aims to develop preventative and curative practices as well as novel tools adapted to relevant life stages for cultured Atlantic salmon. These will include: characterization of genetic components associated with host response to infection and their correlation to resistance, proteomics and genomics (next generation sequencing) approaches for the identification of biomarkers, targeted therapies and reduction strategies. Findings from this project are expected to lead to significant impact on sustainable production in the Irish fish farming sector.
