Overview of skin lesion assessment for mechanically treated zones during the experimental period. Comparison of the main parameters between challenge (grey) and control (white) groups at 5, 15 and 21 days post-inoculation (dpi). Only the fish that were alive at the end of the experimental period (21 dpi) are depicted. Three asterisks indicate a significant difference between challenge and control group, one asterisk represents a trend. A Gross ulcerations score (GUS) were significantly higher in challenge group at 5 and 15 dpi. At 21 dpi the same trend was visible. B Total affected area (TA) was higher in challenge group compared to the control group at 15 and 21 dpi. C Ulcerative area (UA) was higher in challenge group compared to the control group during the entire experimental period.
