Evaluation of the immune responses against enteric septicemia and determination of immune markers for selective breeding of pangasius families (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)

Abstract

The immune response of two groups of selective breeding panagasius families: susceptible (or sensitive) (S) and resistant (R) family groups, including red blood cell count (RBC count), white blood cell count (WBC count), neutrophil (NEU), monocyte (Mono), lymphocyte (LYM), and melano-macrophage centers (MMCs) count in liver, kidney and spleen tissue and antibody titers (ABT) against the bacteria Edwardsiella ictaluri were evaluated in this research...
