SIGNED:______________________ Isabelle Côté 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks to Dr. Donald Lightner, who welcomed me in his laboratory and supported all the work presented here. Dr. Lightner's professionalism and outstanding qualities as a researcher and a pathologist have set an amazing example allowing me to grow as an aquatic animal health professional and a science person. Heartfelt acknowledgements are due to Bonnie Poulos, whose tireless work and constant joie de vivre have been tremendous blessings throughout the course of this project. To my graduate committee members: Dr Michel Riggs, Dr. Michael Cusanovich and Dr. Carol Dieckmann. Your guidance and advices have been essential in shaping and completing this work. I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a group of dedicated and amazing people. Present and past lab members have taught me many things about scientific thought, shrimp diseases, and even life in general. Specific thanks are extended to Allan Heres, Brenda White, Dr. Carlos Pantoja, Debbie Bradley-Dunlop, Dr. Kathy Tang, Linda Nunan, Leone Mohney, Paul Schofield, Rita Redman, Thales Andrade, Thiannarat Srisuvan and Wanda McCormack. All of whom, to one extent or another, contributed to this work. Michael Anderson and Dr. Helen Jost provided much appreciated help with experimental animals: Holly, Molly, Polly and Dolly (I and II). Dr. Janet Decker opened to me the doors of the wonderful world of teaching. Financial support for this research was provided by the United States Marine Shrimp Farming Consortium under the grant: 2004-38808-02142 from the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Department of Veterinary Sciences and Microbiology as well as the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology have provided teaching and graduate research assistantships. To Philip, for making it all worthwhile. 5 DEDICATION To the shrimp and mice who gave their life for the advancement of science. You will be remembered. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF FIGURES.............................................................................................................8 LIST OF TABLES...............................................................................................................9 ABSTRACT.......................................................................................................................10 CHAPTER 1.
