Serum amyloid A is a positive acute phase protein in Russian sturgeon challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila

Abstract The immune system of sturgeons, one of the most ancient and economically valuable fish worldwide, is poorly understood. The lack of molecular tools and data about infection biomarkers hinders the possibility to monitor sturgeon health during farming and detect infection outbreaks. To tackle...
