Difference in Uptake of Tetrodotoxin and Saxitoxins into Liver Tissue Slices among Pufferfish, Boxfish and Porcupinefish

Marine Drugs, 2018
Although pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX) mainly in the liver, some species of pufferfish, boxfish of the family Ostraciidae, and porcupinefish of the family Diodontidae do not.

Genomic Signals of Local Adaptation Associated With Environmental Variables in Eleginops maclovinus From Northern Chilean Patagonia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Studying evolutionary processes in the unique and understudied Patagonian fjord ecosystem is a challenging task for evolutionary ecologists. Genomic signals of local adaptation are present in a species from northern Chilean Patagonia. Polygenic selection drives local adaptation in Eleginops maclovinus. ABSTRACT Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms

Megalocytivirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, Immune Evasion, and Prevention Strategies

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Megalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm.

Transfer profile of intramuscularly administered tetrodotoxin to artificial hybrid specimens of pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes and Takifugu niphobles

Toxicon, 2011
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was intramuscularly administered to artificially hybridized specimens of the pufferfish Takifugu rubripes and Takifugu niphobles to investigate toxin accumulation in hybrids, and TTX transfer/accumulation profiles in the pufferfish body.

Expression, Interferon-γ of Takifugu rubripes in Pichia pastoris

International Journal of Agriculture and Biology
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a major cytokine, has broad-spectrum antiviral function, in addition to play a key role in the process of immune regulation. In this study, in order to explore the biological roles of recombinant IFN-γ (rIFN-γ), IFN-γ was cloned from Takifugu rubripes and expressed in Pichia pastoris under the control of an electrical process.
