Chitin synthases are critical for reproduction, molting, and digestion in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
Hardardottir, Hulda; Male, Rune; Nilsen, Frank; Dalvin, Sussie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-13)Chitin synthase (CHS) is a large transmembrane enzyme that polymerizes Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine into chitin. The genomes of insects often encode two chitin synthases, CHS1 and CHS2. Their functional roles ... -
Effects of chitin synthesis inhibitor treatment on Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) larvae
Hardardottir, Hulda; Male, Rune; Nilsen, Frank; Dalvin, Sussie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-23)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ectoparasite infecting Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), which causes substantial problems to the salmon aquaculture and threatens wild salmon. Chitin synthesis inhibitors ...
