Development of protein level cytokine assays and assessment of the impact of implanted Acoustic Telemetry Tags on the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) immune system
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-06)Telemetry tags are a widely used technology for tracking animals that are difficult to observe in their natural environment. This technology has been increasingly used to monitor and study populations of high value salmonid ... -
Impacts of Low Temperature on the Teleost Immune System
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-11-22)As poikilothermic vertebrates, fish can experience changes in water temperature, and hence body temperature, as a result of seasonal changes, migration, or efflux of large quantities of effluent into a body of water. ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent and pharmaceutical exposure on innate cytokine expression of darters (Etheostoma spp.) in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various stressors and antigenic material present within their environments. The impact of stressors associated with wastewater-exposed environments on native ... -
In Vitro Release of Inflammatory Cytokines from Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)The upregulation of inflammatory mediators in the tear film during contact lens wear indicates that lens wear may induce an inflammatory response on the ocular surface. Previous research has investigated the relationship ... -
Investigating the impacts of diurnal temperature and venlafaxine exposure in zebrafish
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-29)Increased intensity and frequency of heat waves is predicted to have detrimental impacts on aquatic organisms. Thermal variability coupled with exposure to xenobiotic stress could place significant strain on the thermal ...
