Immune Response To Stress Induced By Corticosteroid In Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio Linnaeus) Exposed To Aeromonas Hydrophila

The effect of simulated stress induced by cortisol implantation in common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) was studied. Humoral mediated responses to injected antigens following cortisol treatment were assessed by using the passive haemolytic plaque technique and indirect haemagglutination assay . A si...
