Genome of Kumamoto Oyster Crassostrea sikamea Provides Insights Into Bivalve Evolution and Environmental Adaptation

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Kumamoto oyster, Crassostrea sikamea, is a marine bivalve naturally distributed along the coasts of southern China and southern Japan, with a hatchery population that has been under domestication in the United States since its introduction from Japan in the 1940s.

Comparative genomic analysis of multi-subunit tethering complexes demonstrates an ancient pan-eukaryotic complement and sculpting in Apicomplexa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites that cause tremendous disease burden world-wide. They utilize a set of specialized secretory organelles in their invasive process that require delivery of components for their biogenesis and function, yet ...

Growth, mortality and susceptibility of oyster Crassostrea spp. to Perkinsus spp. infection during on growing in northeast Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2017
Crassostrea rhizophorae and C. gasar oysters are cultivated in the northeast region. Perkinsus parasites infect bivalves, and their effects on oysters from tropical regions are poorly understood.

The expanded inhibitor of apoptosis gene family in oysters possesses novel domain architectures and may play diverse roles in apoptosis following immune challenge

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Apoptosis plays important roles in a variety of functions, including immunity and response to environmental stress. The Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) gene family of apoptosis regulators is expanded in molluscs, including eastern, Crassostrea ...

Research Trends on Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquaculture: A Thematic and Bibliometric Analysis

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has become a critical concern in aquaculture. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a class of small, natural or synthetic peptides that protect hosts from microbial infections, offer a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics.

New York State Climate Impacts Assessment Chapter 08: Society and Economy

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1542, Issue 1, Page 446-500, December 2024.
Abstract Climate change is affecting or will affect the lives of every resident of New York State. This chapter examines the impacts of climate change on five critical areas in the state: populations and migration, the economy, education, culture, and government. The chapter highlights differential vulnerabilities among the state's regions, populations,

Comparative Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal Differences in the Responses of Diploid and Triploid Eastern Oysters to Environmental Stress

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Triploid oysters are commonly used as the basis for production in the aquaculture of eastern oysters along the USA East and Gulf of Mexico coasts. While they are valued for their rapid growth, incidents of triploid mortality during summer months have been well documented in eastern oysters, especially at low salinity sites.

Apoptosis in Crassostrea virginica and its modulation by Perkinsus marinus

The FASEB Journal, 2007
Apoptosis has been implicated as a defense mechanism against intracellular parasites whereas the parasite‐induced manipulation of host apoptosis is a means to extend survival and proliferation. Perkinsus marinus is an intracellular protozoan parasite which causes large scale mortalities in ...

Development of a PCR-ELISA assay for diagnosis of Perkinsus marinus and Perkinsus atlanticus infections in bivalve molluscs

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2004
Perkinsus atlanticus and P. marinus have been associated with mass mortality of bivalve molluscs. Perkinsus infections are routinely diagnosed by histology or the fluid thioglycollate medium (FTM) assay. In this study, we describe the development of a PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for amplification and rapid detection of Perkinsus ...

The α subunit of AMP‐activated protein kinase is critical for the metabolic success and tachyzoite proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2024.
The Apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii encodes a canonical AMPK complex and a KIN kinase that has sequence similarities to AMPKα. Genetic studies showed that AMPKα was essential for Toxoplasma growth whereas KIN was dispensable. In addition, an α‐helix region in the C‐terminal region of AMPKα was found to be crucial for its function.
