Abstract:
... Aeromonosis is a fish disease that leads to haemorrhagic septicaemia and high mortality. The detection of early behavioural changes associated to this disease could be helpful in anticipating the initiation of treatment, increasing the probability of success. The influence of this disease on the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis and on the brain expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) i ...
