Gill Mucus and Gill Mucin <i>O</i>-glycosylation in Healthy and Amebic Gill Disease-Affected Atlantic Salmon

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) causes poor performance and death in salmonids. Mucins are mainly comprised by carbohydrates and are main components of the mucus covering the gill. Since glycans regulate pathogen binding and growth, glycosylation changes may affect susceptibility to primary and secondary...
