Challenge models
VESO is dedicated to providing valid and relevant pre-clinical and clinical trial data through in vivo fish trials with focus on vaccines and pharmaceuticals, health feeds, and genetic resistance profiles. We also offer long-term studies to evaluate the duration of protection (DOP) after vaccination. Duration trials can be run in parallel with field trials. Data from such studies are important to demonstrate to which extent the fish are protected throughout the production cycle. A selection of our well-established challenge models is listed below. Please contact Marie Løvoll or Valentina Tapia for further information.
