Altered gene expression associated with epizootic shell disease in the American lobster, Homarus americanus [PDF]
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2010 Epizootic shell disease is a poorly understood condition that has significantly affected the American lobster fishery in New England (northeastern US) since the 1990s. Here we present the results of a study to identify changes in gene expression in lobsters exhibiting symptoms of epizootic shell disease.

Epizootic shell disease in American lobsters Homarus americanus in southern New England: past, present and future [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012 The emergence of epizootic shell disease in American lobsters Homarus americanus in the southern New England area, USA, has presented many new challenges to understanding the interface between disease and fisheries management. This paper examines past knowledge of shell disease, supplements this with the new knowledge generated through a special New ...

Bait and the susceptibility of American lobsters Homarus americanus to epizootic shell disease [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011 Shell disease (SD) has been observed in lobster populations for almost a hundred years, but recently, rates of an epizootic form of shell disease (ESD) have increased in the southern New England (USA) area. A large proportion of fish in the diet of American lobsters Homarus americanus has been linked to increased rates of SD. Therefore, the use of fish

Rising Temperatures, Molting Phenology, and Epizootic Shell Disease in the American Lobster [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2018 Phenological mismatch-maladaptive changes in phenology resulting from altered timing of environmental cues-is an increasing concern in many ecological systems, yet its effects on disease are poorly characterized. American lobster (Homarus americanus) is declining at its southern geographic limit.

Culture-independent analysis of bacterial communities in hemolymph of American lobsters with epizootic shell disease [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013 Epizootic shell disease (ESD) of the American lobster Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, 1837 is a disease of the carapace that presents grossly as large, melanized, irregularly shaped lesions, making the lobsters virtually unmarketable because of their grotesque appearance.

Gene Expression in American Lobster (Homarus americanus) with Epizootic Shell Disease [PDF]
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2012 Epizootic shell disease (ESD) has been reported widely in American lobster (Homarus americanus, Milne Edwards) in southern New England. The appearance of irregular, deep lesions—characteristic of ESD—has been associated previously with elevated levels of ecdysteroids and premature molting, but the underlying molecular and physiological changes ...

Effects of epizootic shell disease in American lobster Homarus americanus determined using a quantitative disease index [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2009 The incidence of epizootic shell disease in American lobster Homarus americanus has increased in southern New England, U.S.A., in the last decade, but few longitudinal studies have followed the disease progress in individual lobsters or demonstrated direct effects on mortality or growth.

Epizootic rabbit enteropathy. Study of early phenomena with fresh inoculum and attempt at inactivation [PDF]
, 2005 [EN] Using 180 35-day-old SPF rabbits, this study used the effectiveness of bacitracin as a tool for acquiring more information on the various phases of ERE, in particular during the hours inoculation.

Dysbiosis in Epizootic Shell Disease of the American Lobster (Homarus americanus)
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2012 Epizootic shell disease (ESD) in the American lobster (Homarus americanus) is continuing to affect the southern New England lobster population, and the etiology of the disease has not been well defined. We hypothesized that a dysbiotic shift in the shell microbial biofilm played a key part in the etiology of the disease.

A serological survey of ruminant livestock in Kazakhstan during post-Soviet transitions in farming and disease control [PDF]
, 2004 The results of a serological survey of livestock in Kazakhstan, carried out in 1997–1998, are reported. Serum samples from 958 animals (cattle, sheep and goats) were tested for antibodies to foot and mouth disease (FMD), bluetongue (BT), epizootic ...
