Different expression patterns of cytokine and effector molecule genes after infection with A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida in rainbow trout. NCS: exposed fish with no clinical signs, CS: exposed fish with clinical signs, Survivors—exposed fish surviving the challenge at 13 dpc. Star: Significant differences (p < 0.05) between non-exposed (control) groups and exposed groups—NCS, CS and survivors. #Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the NCS and CS groups at 3 dpc. Diamond: Significant differences (p < 0.05) with non-parametric Mann–Whitney test were applied for fish groups that had less than 3 positive Cq values.
