Identification of novel antimicrobial peptides and histone-derived cryptides in the hepatic transcriptome of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) infected with Streptococcus agalactiae.

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a valuable freshwater fish species widely cultured globally and in China. Its aquaculture production is challenged by Streptococcus agalactiae, the primary etiological agent of streptococcosis. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a critical role in the innate immune system of fish...
