New article: The effect of poly I:C and LPS on in vivo and in vitro rainbow trout gill mucin production

Fish exposed to substances and structures produced by disease-causing viruses and bacteria increase their production of mucus in their gills. The mucus can bind to these structures, thereby preventing bacteria and viruses from infecting the fish. A better understanding of this mechanism could be used to limit the spread of infection among fish in aquaculture.
