QTL mapping provides new insights into emamectin benzoate resistance in salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]
Background The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a parasite of wild and farmed salmonid fish, causing huge economic damage to the commercial farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the northern hemisphere.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Genetic dissection of MHC-associated susceptibility to
Background Genetic variation has been shown to play a significant role in determining susceptibility to the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. However, the mechanisms involved in differential response to infection remain poorly understood.

A model for sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) dynamics in a seasonally changing environment [PDF]
Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are a significant source of monetary losses on salmon farms. Sea lice exhibit temperature-dependent development rates and salinity-dependent mortality, but to date no deterministic models have incorporated these ...
