PhD Scholarship in bacterial fish diseases (Due: 15 March 2010)

The PhD project will have focus on host-pathogen interactions including determination of expression-profiles for immune relevant genes in the host following infection and vaccination with Flavobacterium psychrophilum (qPCR and micro-arrays).

Propagation of the infection and the related host response in the fish at various development stages will be analysed microscopically by immuno-histochemist ry and in situ hybridization. Challenge protocols have been established with i.p. infection of fish but methods more related to natural exposure of the fish to the bacteria will be established. The infection routes followed by the pathogen in the fish will be described using confocal microscopy. The work will in periods take place in Aarhus (Section of Fish Diseases).
