Behavioural effects of the common brain-infecting parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia in laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Vindas, Marco; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Research conducted on model organisms may be biased due to undetected pathogen infections. Recently, screening studies discovered high prevalence of the microsporidium Pseudoloma neurophilia in zebrafish (Danio rerio) ... -
Brain-infecting parasites leave lasting effects on behaviour even in resistant hosts
Vindas, Marco; Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Fontaine, Romain; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Effects of Pseudoloma neurophilia infection on the brain transcriptome in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Vindas, Marco; Whatmore, Paul J; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Laboratory zebrafish are commonly infected with the intracellular, brain‐infecting microsporidian parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia . Chronic P. neurophilia infections induce inflammation in meninges, brain and spinal cord, ... -
Effects of the brain-infecting parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia in laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave (PhD thesis;2020:40, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are increasingly popular model animals in scientific fields ranging from behavioural ecology to neurobiology. It is therefore of increasing concern that half of all zebrafish research facilities are ...
