Polluted porpoises: Generational transfer of organic contaminants in harbour porpoises from the southern North Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-07-09)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), bioaccumulate in marine ecosystems. Top predators contain high levels of ...
Virulence factors associated with amoebic gill disease from Neoparamoeba perurans
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2020-10)
Determining the virulence factors associated with pathogenic organisms is imperative in comprehending disease pathogenesis and ultimately paves the way for methods of treatment and disease management. Neoparamoeba perurans ...
