Pilot Study to Assess if a novel DNA and/or RNAi ISA vaccine can be administered through oral route to fish and a safety study of a plant-based feed stabilizer in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar).
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-26
Summary
The work proposed will take an innovative approach to the control and prevention of ISAV infection using DNA/RNAi technology to prevent virus from causing infection by blocking their ability to survive on the host. We have developed a unique oral vaccination platform based on this technology which could be used for prevention of ISAV infection in farmed salmon.
RPS has its proprietary fish meal additive that extends the self life of the fish meal. This product is plant based and we would like to test if this can be incorporated in the fish meal and that is safe for fish health. In other words, a safety test will be conducted using this RPS product.

Description (French)
Les travaux proposés adopteront une approche innovante du contrôle et de la prévention de l'infection par le VAIS, et ce, en utilisant la technologie ADN/ARNi pour empêcher le virus de provoquer une infection en bloquant sa capacité à survivre sur l'hôte. Nous avons mis au point une plateforme unique de vaccination orale basée sur cette technologie qui pourrait être utilisée pour la prévention de l'infection par le VAIS chez le saumon d'élevage. RPS possède son additif breveté pour farine de poisson qui prolonge la durée de vie de la farine de poisson. Ce produit est d'origine végétale et nous aimerions vérifier s'il peut être incorporé dans la farine de poisson et s'il est sans danger pour la santé des poissons. En d'autres termes, un test de sécurité sera effectué en utilisant ce produit de RPS.
