Characterization of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis miRNome: Sex-biased differences related to the coding and non-coding RNA interplay.
Núñez-Acuña G, Gallardo-Escárate C
The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a marine ectoparasite that has a detrimental impact on salmon farms. Genomic knowledge of adult stages is critical to understand the reproductive success and lifecycle completion of this species. Here, we report a comprehensive characterization of the L. salmonis miRNome w...

The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin-2 is a molecular host-associated cue for the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Chemical signals are a key element of host-parasite interactions. In marine ecosystems, obligate ectoparasites, such as sea lice, use chemical cues and other sensory signals to increase the probability of encountering a host and to identify appropriate hosts on which they depend to complete their life cycle. The che...
