Characterization of a Novel C-type Lectin against OsHV-1 infection in Scapharca broughtonii
As important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), most C-type lectins (CTLs) are a class of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that are found to be involved in non-self-recognition and antiviral process. In this study, a new CTL, named SbCTL, was identified from ark clams, Scapharca broughtonii.

Abstract Disease freedom surveillance is challenging in settings where environmental conditions and population health can change abruptly. We propose a novel approach to freedom evaluation that is specifically suited to open environments. The approach merges information about pathogen introduction risk with information from pathogen surveillance to ...

The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is the most important commercial oyster species cultivated in the world. Meanwhile, the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) is one of the major pathogens affecting the Pacific oyster, and numerous mortality outbreaks ...

Trained immunity: Perspectives for disease control strategy in marine mollusc aquaculture
Abstract Recent evidence has demonstrated the unique properties of the innate immune system, known as innate immune memory, immune priming, or trained immunity. These properties have been described as the ability of the innate immune system to learn from previous microbial experiences, which improves survival after subsequent infection. In this review,

Host plasticity supports spread of an aquaculture introduced virus to an ecosystem engineer
Background The common cockle Cerastoderma edule plays an important ecological role in the marine ecosystem both as an infaunal engineer (reef forming and bioturbation) and a food source for protected bird species in its European range.

The highly versatile group of Herpesviruses cause disease in a wide range of hosts. In invertebrates, only two herpesviruses are known: the malacoherpesviruses HaHV-1 and OsHV-1 infecting gastropods and bivalves, respectively.

Abstract The aquaculture sector is currently experiencing a global disease crisis. Emerging bacterial diseases—often opportunistic or syndromic—have collapsed production in nations across the world. Losses in the shrimp industry associated with opportunistic Vibrio spp. exceed 40% of global capacity.

Detection of Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) DNA in seawater by PCR: influence of water parameters in bioassays [PDF]
Since 1991, herpesvirus infections have been reported among larvae and juveniles of various bivalves. Most of the studies focused on detection of viral infections of economically important species. However, the persistence of bivalve herpesviruses in the marine environment is poorly documented. The present study concerns the role of seawater parameters

Since its molecular characterisation, Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) has been regularly detected in Crassostrea gigas in France. Although its pathogenicity was demonstrated on larval stages, its involvement during mortality outbreaks at the juvenile ...

Microbial education for marine invertebrate disease prevention in aquaculture
Microbial education during the early life stages enhances the robustness of cultivated species and favour a long term disease resistance. Abstract The holobiont theory expands the notion of individual multicellular organisms as a community composed of a host and all its associated microorganisms.
