WP5 - Biotechnologies applied to pathogens
Development of biotechnological tools dedicated to improvment of knowledge on pathogens of species studied in WP3 and 4.
Studied pathogens are : Photobacterium damselae piscicida (fish bacterial pathogen), parasites from genus Bonamia and OsHV-1 virus (both are molluscs pathogens and for oysters in particular).
This work package consists in following actions:
- Comparative analysis of sequences. In silico analysis of genes and genomic regions of interest in studied pathogens (IFREMER et IFAPA).
- Development of analytical tools from NGS output to identify Bonamia species (IFREMER).
- Development of analytical tools from NGS output to identify OsHV-1 variants (IFREMER)
- Development of oral vaccines based on nanotechnology against Photobacterium (IFAPA).
