Mechanism behind Resistance against the Organophosphate Azamethiphos in Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the primary target for organophosphates (OP). Several mutations have been reported in AChE to be associated with the reduced sensitivity against OP in various arthropods.

An update of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) reference genome assembly
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Salmon lice have plagued the salmon farming industry and have negatively impacted salmon populations in the wild. In response, researchers have generated high density genetic maps, genome assemblies, transcriptomes, and whole-genome resequencing data to ...

Vaccines, 2021 Vaccination against salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a means of control that averts the negative effects of chemical approaches. Here, we studied the immunogenicity and protective effect of a vaccine formulation (based on a salmon lice-gut ...

The planktonic stages of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are tolerant of end-of-century pCO2 concentrations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an obligate ectoparasite of salmonids. Salmon lice are major pests in salmon aquaculture and due to its economic impact Lepeophtheirus salmonis is one of the most well studied species of marine parasite.

Parasitic copepods (Crustacea, Hexanauplia) on fishes from the lagoon flats of Palmyra Atoll, Central Pacific [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from the intertidal lagoon flats at Palmyra and recovered 17 parasitic

Microbial communities associated with the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]
Marine Genomics, 2020 Abstract Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a naturally occurring marine parasite of salmonid fishes in the Northern hemisphere, and a major problem in salmonid aquaculture. In addition to the direct effects on host fish, L. salmonis may act as a vector for diseases. Here, the microbial community of L.

The salmon louse genome may be much larger than sequencing suggests
Scientific Reports, 2022 The genome size of organisms impacts their evolution and biology and is often assumed to be characteristic of a species. Here we present the first published estimates of genome size of the ecologically and economically important ectoparasite ...

Losing the ‘arms race’: multiresistant salmon lice are dispersed throughout the North Atlantic Ocean
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Nothing lasts forever, including the effect of chemicals aimed to control pests in food production. As old pesticides have been compromised by emerging resistance, new ones have been introduced and turned the odds back in our favour.

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a parasite of salmonid fish. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exhibit only a limited and ineffective immune response when infested with this parasite.
