Trends in De-Lousing of Norwegian Farmed Salmon From 2000–2019—Consumption of Medicines, Salmon Louse Resistance and Non-Medicinal Control Methods [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis has been a substantial obstacle in Norwegian farming of Atlantic salmon for decades. With a limited selection of available medicines and frequent delousing treatments, resistance has emerged among salmon lice ...

Salmon louse labial gland enzymes: implications for host settlement and immune modulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite, infesting salmonids. While feeding, labial gland proteins from the salmon louse may be deposited on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin.

Roles of three putative salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) prostaglandin E2 synthases in physiology and host–parasite interactions [PDF]
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.

Evolutionary predictions for a parasite metapopulation: Modelling salmon louse resistance to pest controls in aquaculture [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Pests often evolve resistance to pest controls used in agriculture and aquaculture. The rate of pest adaptation is influenced by the type of control, the selective pressure it imposes, and the gene flow between farms.

Small, charged proteins in salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) secretions modulate Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) immune responses and coagulation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Little is known about glandular proteins secreted from the skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). The labial gland has ducts extending into the oral cavity of the lice, and the present study aimed to identify novel ...
