Pioneering Stirling research on salmon louse larvae could better inform parasite control strategies
A first-of-its-kind University of Stirling study could better inform strategies to control salmon lice, after researchers uncovered major differences in the secretions the parasite produces as larvae. Like other parasites, such as mosquitoes and ticks, salmon lice secrete substances from their glands which make it easier for them to feed or evade their host’s immune system. The study, led by PhD researcher Alexander Dindial alongside colleagues …
