Milky hemolymph syndrome (MHS) caused by a bacilliform virus (BV) was found in tanner crab Chionoecetes bairdi in the shelf zone of Kamchatka. The prevalence of the disease varied from 0.18 to 1.02%. A total lesion of the cells of the interstitial connective tissue and the connective tissue component of all internal organs was noted, which was expr...

FGFRs involved multiple physiological processes, such as endocrine homeostasis, wound repair, and cellular behaviors including proliferation, differentiation and survival. In the present study, the homologs of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) were identified and characterized from the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii for the first ...

During a survey for pathogens and commensals of blue crabs in commercial soft shell shedding facilities in Louisiana, we discovered an occurrence of microsporidiosis in two of forty examined crabs. Judging from spore shape and size, tissue tropism and external signs of muscle pathology, the causative agent of infections was identified as Ameson mic...

Ruditapes decussatus is a highly appreciated clam species, with a high demand, especially in European countries. However, natural populations of this species have been affected by over-exploitation, abiotic factors and also by diseases mainly caused by bacteria, virus and protozoans. Within the latter group of pathogens, Perkinsus spp. has been att...

Many organisms go through a process of programmed cell death called apoptosis while newer cells are created. This has the effect of protecting the organism from cellular parasites and is a major line of defense against invading organisms. Apoptosis inhibitors, then, play an important role in aiding infectious agents by inhibiting caspase protease a...

The parasite Haplosporidium costale is known to infect and cause mortality in the oyster Crassostrea virginica in the USA. Decades after its first description in the 1960s, this parasite was detected in Crassostrea gigas in the USA and China. However, it presented a low prevalence and no mortality was associated with it. More recently, in 2019, H. ...

Tawera elliptica (commonly known as "Almeja Juliana", is a venerid clam that inhabits sandy bottoms and is distributed from Valparaíso on the Pacific coast up to the Mar del Plata area along the Atlantic coast. Harvests of this clam have declined substantially over the last decade. Therefore, an analysis of common parasites and pathological conditi...

A significant amount of work has been devoted towards understanding the cellular and humoral immune responses in arthropod vectors. Although fleas (Siphonaptera) are vectors of numerous bacterial pathogens, few studies have examined how these insects defend themselves from infection. In this study, we investigated the immune defense mechanisms in t...

Photorhabdus insect related proteins A & B (PirA, PirB) from Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus bacteria exhibit both oral and injectable toxicity against lepidopteran and dipteran insect pest. The pirA, pirAt (encoding 6 N-terminal truncated PirA), pirB genes, pirA-pirB (with ERIC sequences), pirA-pirB-mERIC (modified pirA-pirB with mutated ERIC sequenc...

The yellow peach moth (YPM), Conogethes punctiferalis, is a destructive insect pest of maize in eastern China and adapts to diverse environments, especially against pathogens. In insects, innate immunity comprising both humoral and cellular defense responses, is the primary defense against invading microbial pathogens. In this study, we identified ...
