Transcriptomic response to ISAV infection in the gills, head kidney and spleen of resistant and susceptible Atlantic salmon

The paper compares transcriptomic responses to ISAV infection in resistant and susceptible Atlantic salmon across three tissues at different timepoints, identifying organ-specific immune and non-immune gene expression patterns.

Identification of a new Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) isolate in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) that causes mortality in resistant fish

The paper identifies a new IPNV isolate that causes mortality in genetically resistant Atlantic salmon, despite being similar to avirulent forms in critical motifs but differing in unique hypervariable region mutations.

Exploring genetic resistance to Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus in Atlantic salmon by genome-wide association and RNA sequencing

This study identifies genetic and functional basis of resistance to ISAV in Atlantic salmon using GWAS and RNA sequencing, finding TRIM25 as a key antiviral gene.

Genome-wide association study of piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV) robustness in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

This study identifies genetic markers associated with resistance to PMCV in Atlantic salmon using a genome-wide association approach.
