Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP).

Effects of gill and muscle biopsies on the short‐term behaviour, exercise performance and survival of juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐lethal biopsy is a valuable tool for gaining insight into the physiological status of fish in the wild and for predicting their subsequent behaviour and survival. However, linking the insights from biopsy to post‐release behaviour relies on the assumption that the biopsy itself has no meaningful impact on post‐release behaviour or survival
