    • In this study, the immunogenetic profiles of two fish populations that differ dramatically in exposure to environmental toxicants and parasite loads are compared.
    • To identify these predictive genes, classic toxicants must be analyzed to determine the most appropriate genes that will represent each class of chemical or toxic end-point.

    • Abnormal interruption of these integrated signaling pathways by food-related and environmental toxicants results in diseased states, such as cancer.
    • Is it possible to determine the fate of toxicants and the presence and efficiencies of detoxification systems in rotifers?
    • As a result, there were changes in the number of visits for some conditions that were so abrupt that it seems implausible that an environmental toxicant could be the cause.
