Identification and characterization of type I and II IFN genes in obscure puffer (Takifugu obscurus)
Interferons (IFNs) play critical roles in the host defense against virus infection, and exhibit promising prospects for the prevention of viral diseases in aquaculture. Pufferfish is an important cultured fish in East Asia. However, the IFN genes haven’t

Aeromonas hydrophila induces apoptosis in pufferfish, Takifugu obscurus [PDF]
Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen causing motile aeromonad septicemia, which results in great economic losses in freshwater fish farming. In this study, we investigated the effect of A. hydrophila on apoptosis of pufferfish blood cells. Total blood cell count, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cytoplasmic free-Ca2+ (

No evidence for a culturable bacterial tetrodotoxin producer in Pleurobranchaea maculata (Gastropoda: Pleurobranchidae) and Stylochoplana sp. (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in the tissues of many taxonomically diverse organisms. Its origin has been the topic of much debate, with suggestions including endogenous production, acquisition through diet, and symbiotic bacterial ...

Investigating diet as the source of tetrodotoxin in Pleurobranchaea maculata [PDF]
The origin of tetrodotoxin (TTX) is highly debated; researchers have postulated either an endogenous or exogenous source with the host accumulating TTX symbiotically or via food chain transmission.

DNA barcoding, identification, and validation of the pufferfish (Order: Tetraodontiformes) in China coastal waters. [PDF]
In this study, 616 samples of Tetraodontiformes were identified by using morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding technology. It provided molecular evidence for clarifying the valid species names of L. spadiceus and T. rubripes. The results can provide reliable DNA barcoding information for the identification and classification of ...
