Claims
- 1. A transgenic catfish whose genome comprises a gene encoding cecropin B operably linked to the native cecropin B promoter, wherein said cecropin B promoter functions to direct expression of the cecropin B gene; and wherein the expression of said cecropin B gene imparts resistance to pathogenic bacteria.
- 2. A transgenic koi whose genome comprises a gene encoding cecropin B operably linked to the native cecropin B promoter, wherein said cecropin B promoter functions to direct expression of the cecropin B gene; and wherein the expression of said cecropin B gene imparts resistance to pathogenic bacteria.
- 3. A transgenic bony fish whose genome comprises a gene encoding cecropin B operably linked to the native cecropin B promoter, wherein said cecropin B promoter functions to direct expression of the cecropin B gene; and wherein the expression of said cecropin B gene imparts resistance to pathogenic bacteria.
