Identification and Molecular Characterization of Two Acetylcholinesterases from the Salmon Louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important enzyme in cholinergic synapses. Most arthropods have two genes (ace1 and ace2), but only one encodes the predominant synaptic AChE, the main target for organophosphates.

Effect of environmental salinity on sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis settlement success [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006 The sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837) (Copepoda: Caligidae) is an ectoparasite of salmonid fish. It has earlier been proposed that the free-swimming infectious copepodid stage of L. salmonis gather at river mouths to infect wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and sea trout S. trutta L. smolts during their seaward migration.

Multivariate evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment efficacy of cypermethrin against sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is the most important ectoparasite of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norwegian aquaculture. Control of sea lice is primarily dependent on the use of delousing chemotherapeutants, which are both ...

Genomic analysis of the carboxylesterase family in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2021 The pyrethroid deltamethrin and the macrocyclic lactone emamectin benzoate (EMB) are used to treat infestations of farmed salmon by parasitic salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. While the efficacy of both compounds against Atlantic populations of the parasite has decreased as a result of the evolution of resistance, the molecular mechanisms of drug ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Osmoregulation and ammonia removal are among key physiological processes that take place in gills and affect fish homeostasis and well‐being. These processes can be disrupted by numerous environmental factors, but also by viral infections, especially those leading to severe gill disorders.

Mate limitation in sea lice infesting wild salmon hosts : the influence of parasite sex ratio and aggregation [PDF]
, 2017 Mate limitation in dioecious parasite species has the potential to impact parasite population growth. Our focus of interest was the influence of parasite sex distribution among hosts on parasite reproduction and transmission dynamics for populations of ...

Gene Expression Response to Sea Lice in Atlantic Salmon Skin: RNA Sequencing Comparison Between Resistant and Susceptible Animals [PDF]
, 2018 Sea lice are parasitic copepods that cause large economic losses to salmon aquaculture worldwide. Frequent chemotherapeutic treatments are typically required to control this parasite, and alternative measures such as breeding for improved host resistance
