• A metapopulation model reveals connectivity-driven hotspots in treatment resistance evolution in a marine parasite 

      Coates, Andrew; Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Dempster, Tim; Samsing, Francisca; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Phillips, Ben L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In salmon aquaculture, the sustainable management of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is limited by the adaptive capacity of the parasite. This is evident in the repeated evolution of pesticide resistance in the salmon ...
    • Applying genetic technologies to combat infectious diseases in aquaculture 

      Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Robledo, Diego; Sveen, Lene; Daniels, Rose Ruiz; Krasnov, Aleksei; Coates, Andrew; Jin, Ye Hwa; Barrett, Luke T.; Lillehammer, Marie; Kettunen, Anne Helena; Phillips, Ben L.; Dempster, Tim; Doeschl-Wilson, Andrea; Samsing, Francisca; Difford, Gareth Frank; Salisbury, Sarah; Gjerde, Bjarne; Haugen, John-Erik; Burgerhout, Erik; Dagnachew, Binyam Sime; Kurian, Dominic; Fast, Mark D.; Rye, Morten; Salazar, Marcela; Bron, James E.; Monaghan, Sean J.; Jacq, Celeste; Birkett, Mike; Browman, Howard I.; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Fields, David M.; Selander, Erik; Bui, Samantha; Sonesson, Anna Kristina; Skugor, Stanko; Østbye, Tone-Kari K; Houston, Ross D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that exploit genetic variation in host resistance ...
    • High host densities dilute sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis loads on individual Atlantic salmon, but do not reduce lice infection success 

      Samsing, Francisca; Oppedal, Frode; Johansson, David; Bui, Samantha; Dempster, Timothy David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
    • Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) development times, body size and reproductive outputs follow universal models of temperature dependence 

      Samsing, Francisca; Oppedal, Frode; Dalvin, Sussie; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Vågseth, Tone; Dempster, Timothy David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-25)
      Temperatures regulate metabolism of marine ectotherms and thereby influence development, reproduction, and, as a consequence, dispersal. Despite the importance of water temperatures in the epidemiology of marine diseases, ...
