In vitro modelling of the immunological interactions between the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Kroyer, 1837), and the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (L., 1758)
Atlantic salmon, SaI1M salar. L., have been shown to be more susceptible to infections by the caligid copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Kreyer, 1837) than other salmonid species.
