Epizootic shell disease induces systemic transcriptomic shifts in Homarus americanus, characterized by increased shell degradation and impaired energy metabolism across tissues [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyEpizootic shell disease (ESD) is characterized by shell erosion, pitting, and melanization in the American lobster (Homarus americanus) and is associated with a polymicrobial infection.

Many Questions Remain Unanswered About the Role of Microbial Transmission in Epizootic Shell Disease in American Lobsters (Homarus americanus) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Despite decades of research on lobster species’ biology, ecology, and microbiology, there are still unresolved questions about the microbial communities which associate in or on lobsters under healthy or diseased states, microbial acquisition, as well as

Long-read sequencing reveals the shell microbiome of apparently healthy American lobsters Homarus americanus from Atlantic Canada [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The shell microbial community of lobsters—a key factor in the development of epizootic shell disease (ESD)—is still insufficiently researched in Atlantic Canada and many knowledge gaps remain.

Effects of epizootic shell disease on egg quality of the American lobster [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2013 Epizootic shell disease (ESD) of the American lobster, Homarus americanus Milne Edwards, 1837, is of increasing concern, particularly in the southern New England fishery where prevalence is highest. Egg-bearing female lobsters are more susceptible to the disease because many of them molt less frequently when carrying eggs.

CULTURE-DEPENDENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MICROBIAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATED WITH EPIZOOTIC SHELL DISEASE LESIONS IN AMERICAN LOBSTER, HOMARUS AMERICANUS [PDF]
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2005 Abstract Epizootic shell disease in the American lobster is an important factor affecting lobster fisheries in and around the Long Island Sound. It is a strictly dermal disease, because no correlation was observed between occurrence of epizootic shell disease and hemolymph infection.
