Molecular characterization of the lipophorin receptor in the crustacean ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a marine ectoparasite of salmonid fish in the Northern Hemisphere and considered as a major challenge in aquaculture and a threat to wild populations of salmonids.

QTL mapping provides new insights into emamectin benzoate resistance in salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]

BMC Genomics
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.

Prime-boost vaccination with chimeric antigens adjuvanted in Montanide™ ISA50 V2 confers protection against experimental Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionSea lice are crustacean ectoparasites affecting Atlantic salmon production worldwide and impediments to industry growth. Chemical treatment has been the method of choice to control infestation with increasing resistance.

The potential for cleaner fish‐driven evolution in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis: Genetic or environmental control of pigmentation? [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The parasitic salmon louse represents one of the biggest challenges to environmentally sustainable salmonid aquaculture across the globe. This species also displays a high evolutionary potential, as demonstrated by its rapid development of resistance to ...

Impact of a candidate vaccine on the dynamics of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation and immune response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Infection with parasitic copepod salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis, represents one of the most important limitations to sustainable Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming today in the North Atlantic region.

Evidence for the Evolution of Resistance to Non‐Chemical Parasite Controls: Salmon Lice From Submerged Cages Produce Larvae That Swim Deeper

Evolutionary Applications
Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) pose a major challenge to the sustainability of salmon aquaculture due to their capacity to rapidly evolve resistance to parasite control methods.

An update of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) reference genome assembly. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda), 2022
AbstractSalmon 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 better understand this parasite.

Genomic analysis of the carboxylesterase family in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol, 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 ...

Predicting the abundance of Lepeophtheirus salmonis in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. [PDF]

J Aquat Anim Health
Abstract Objective The primary objective was to construct a time series model for the abundance of the adult female (AF) sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis in Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar farms in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada, for the period 2016–2021 and to illustrate its short-term ...
