Influence of the genetic makeup of common carp on the expression of iron-related genes during Trypanoplasma borreli infection

Abstract

Genes related to iron metabolism play an important role in inflammatory response. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of ferritin, transferrin receptors 1a and 1b, and transferrin genes in the response to blood parasite infection in common carp (Cyprinuscarpio L.).
