Immune Memory-like Responses of Akoya Pearl Oyster to Pinctada Birnavirus [PDF]
PathogensAmong accumulating knowledge of invertebrate immune-like responses, antiviral mechanisms in mollusks remain poorly understood. Pinctada birnavirus (PiBV) infects the mantle epithelial cells of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata), causing mass mortality of
