The Aquatic Animal Health Program has actively investigated
tumors of aquatic animals with retroviral etiologies or suspect
retroviral etiologies since 1985. This Web Site provides an overview
of the Walleye Dermal Saracoma Project. The walleye dermal sarcoma
system is of particular interest because it is a tumor system
where the lesion develops and regresses on a seasonal basis.
Or overall objective is to determine the mechansism(s) of this
seasonality.
