About this Research Topic
Unlike their mammalian counterparts, avian and fish erythrocytes are nucleated, suggesting functions beyond just oxygen transport. This Research Topic delves into the fascinating realm of these nucleated erythrocytes, exploring their potential contributions to two critical areas in poultry health and aquaculture: immunity and production efficiency. The poultry and aquaculture industries face a crucial challenge: optimizing bird and fish health and production in a sustainable manner, such as reducing reliance on antibiotics and minimizing environmental impact. This research holds significant value in addressing this challenge. By investigating the intricate interactions between erythrocytes and the immune system, we can gain a deeper understanding of how these cells influence disease resistance in chickens and fishes. Additionally, exploring the potential impacts of erythrocyte function on meat quality opens exciting new avenues for improving overall production efficiency.
The goal of this Research Topic is to comprehensively explore the multifaceted roles of erythrocytes in poultry and aquaculture, particularly their contributions to immunity and production efficiency. Recent advances have revealed that these nucleated erythrocytes, unlike their mammalian counterparts, are not merely passive oxygen carriers. They actively participate in immune responses and potentially influence production traits in fish and chickens. This collection aims to gather and synthesize current research on:Immunomodulatory functions of erythrocytes in chickens and fish. Interactions between erythrocytes and immune cells in poultry and aquatic species. The influence of erythrocyte characteristics on disease resistance in chickens and fish. Potential impacts of erythrocyte function on meat quality in aquaculture and poultry production. Nutritional or genetic factors affecting erythrocyte function in fish and chickens. By compiling the latest findings on erythrocytes in both chickens and fish, this Research Topic seeks to provide a deeper understanding of their complex and multifaceted roles. This knowledge will pave the way for future advancements in poultry health, aquaculture practices, and overall production efficiency.
This Research Topic welcomes original research articles, reviews, and mini-reviews that delve into the multifaceted roles of erythrocytes in poultry and aquaculture, particularly those exploring their contributions to immunity and production efficiency. We particularly encourage submissions that utilize cutting-edge approaches in both poultry and aquatic species, including advanced techniques in immunology, cell biology, genomics, and especially multiomics. Multiomics approaches that analyze various biological datasets (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) are particularly welcome to provide a more comprehensive understanding of erythrocyte function.By fostering collaboration between researchers in poultry science and aquaculture, this Research Topic aims to bridge the knowledge gap regarding erythrocytes in chickens and fish. This collaborative effort holds the potential to revolutionize our understanding of these fascinating nucleated erythrocytes and their impact on animal health and production efficiency in both industries. Ultimately, this knowledge can be translated into practical applications, leading to the development of novel strategies for disease prevention, improved production practices, and ultimately, a more sustainable food system for both poultry and aquaculture.
