      Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a large, cold-adapted teleost that sustains long-standing commercial fisheries and incipient aquaculture. Here we present the genome sequence of Atlantic cod, showing evidence for complex ...
    • Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of Yersinia ruckeri confirms the existence of host specificity, geographic endemism, and anthropogenic dissemination of virulent clones 

      Gulla, Snorre; Barnes, Andrew C.; Welch, Timothy J.; Romalde, Jesús L.; Ryder, David; Ormsby, Michael J.; Carson, Jeremy; Lagesen, Karin; Verner-Jeffreys, David W.; Davies, Robert L.; Colquhoun, Duncan John (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08)
      A multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) assay was developed for epizootiological study of the internationally significant fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri, which causes yersiniosis in salmonids. The assay ...
    • Phylogeography and host specificity of Pasteurellaceae pathogenic to sea-farmed fish in the north-east Atlantic 

      Gulla, Snorre; Colquhoun, Duncan John; Olsen, Anne Berit; Spilsberg, Bjørn; Lagesen, Karin; Åkesson, Caroline Piercey; Strøm, Sverri; Manji, Farah; Birkbeck, T.H.; Nilsen, Hanne Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The present study was undertaken to address the recent spate of pasteurellosis outbreaks among sea-farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norway and Scotland, coinciding with sporadic disease episodes in lumpfish (Cyclopterus ...
    • Tenacibaculosis in Norwegian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) cage-farmed in cold sea water is primarily associated with Tenacibaculum finnmarkense genomovar finnmarkense 

      Spilsberg, Bjørn; Nilsen, Hanne Katrine; Tavornpanich, Saraya; Gulla, Snorre; Lagesen, Karin; Jansen, Mona Dverdal; Colquhoun, Duncan John; Olsen, Anne Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Skin conditions associated with Tenacibaculum spp. constitute a significant threat to the health and welfare of sea-farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in Norway. Fifteen presumptive tenacibaculosis outbreaks distributed ...
