Characterization of a novel RXR receptor in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Copepoda) regulating growth and female reproduction
Eichner, Christiane; Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Malde, Ketil; Kongshaug, Heidi; Nilsen, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-14)Nuclear receptors have crucial roles in all metazoan animals as regulators of gene transcription. A wide range of studies have elucidated molecular and biological significance of nuclear receptors but there are still a ... -
Identification and characterisation of the ecdysone biosynthetic genes neverland, disembodied and shade in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae)
Sandlund, Liv; Kongshaug, Heidi; Horsberg, Tor Einar; Male, Rune; Nilsen, Frank; Dalvin, Sussie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018) -
Identification of critical enzymes in the salmon louse chitin synthesis pathway as revealed by RNA interference-mediated abrogation of infectivity
Braden, Laura; Michaud, Dylan; Igboeli, Okechukwu O.; Dondrup, Michael; Hamre, Lars Are; Dalvin, Sussie; Purcell, Sara; Kongshaug, Heidi; Eichner, Christiane; Nilsen, Frank; Fast, Mark D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Treatment of infestation by the ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis relies on a small number of chemotherapeutant treatments that currently meet with limited success. Drugs targeting chitin synthesis have been largely ... -
Molecular characterisation of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis (Krøyer, 1837), ecdysone receptor with emphasis on functional studies of female reproduction
Sandlund, Liv; Nilsen, Frank; Male, Rune; Grotmol, Sindre; Kongshaug, Heidi; Dalvin, Sussie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-20)The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) is an important parasite in the salmon farming industry in the Northern Hemisphere causing annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars (US) worldwide. To ... -
Molecular characterisation of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis (Krøyer, 1837), ecdysone receptor with emphasis on functional studies of female reproduction
Sandlund, Liv; Nilsen, Frank; Male, Rune; Grotmol, Sindre; Kongshaug, Heidi; Dalvin, Sussie Trine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Phylogenomic and functional analyses of salmon lice aquaporins uncover the molecular diversity of the superfamily in Arthropoda
Stavang, Jon Anders; Chauvigné, Francois; Kongshaug, Heidi; Cerdà, Joan; Nilsen, Frank; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19)An emerging field in biomedical research is focusing on the roles of aquaporin water channels in parasites that cause debilitating or lethal diseases to their vertebrate hosts. The primary vectorial agents are hematophagous ... -

Transcriptomic and targeted immune transcript analyses confirm localized skin immune responses in Atlantic salmon towards the salmon louse
Øvergård, Aina-Cathrine; Eichner, Christiane; Nuñez-Ortiz, Noelia; Kongshaug, Heidi; Borchel, Andreas; Dalvin, Sussie Trine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are highly susceptible to infestations with the ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis, the salmon louse. Infestations elicit an immune response in the fish, but the response does not lead to ...
