Proteomic profiling of gills during carp edema virus infection provides insights into immune responses and cellular stress associated with koi sleepy disease

Key Points

• Immune responses to carp edema virus were significantly altered, highlighting the pathogen's impact on fish health.
• The proteomic profiling identified over 50 differentially expressed proteins, indicating cellular stress during infection.
• Assessment using proteomic techniques revealed insights into immune responses in the gills of infected carp.
• These findings may enable better understanding and control of koi sleepy disease affecting fish populations.
