Abstract:
The initial stage of bacterial infection is characterized by an increase in the level of total lipids and polyenoic fatty acids in membrane phospholipids of blood lymphocytes of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). In the fish infected with aeromonads, changes in the ratios of fatty acids in phospholipids are similar for either lymphocytes, liver, or whole blood. The extent to which these changes are pronounced depends on the original physiological status of the fish.
