Summary: Research on the Pacific white shrimp LvWnt11 gene show that it plays different roles in immune responses against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and white spot syndrome virus infections. LvWnt11 regulates expression of various immune-related factors and may help to uncover immune mechanisms in crustaceans.

Summary: PAH is a key enzyme involved in immune defense reactions by providing the starting material for synthesizing catecholamines and melanin. LvPAH was identified from Litopenaeus vannamei, showing constitutive expression with the highest levels in the eyestalk. Inhibition of LvPAH resulted in decreased survival rates and increased viral loads in L. vannamei after WSSV infection.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in hematology, immunology, and biochemical values in the hemolymph of shrimp infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The results showed that shrimp's immune response was altered, and the hemolymph parameters could be used to assess the health status of shrimp.

Summary: In this study, a MIP-T3 homolog from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was cloned and identified. The LvMIP-T3 played a positive role in the TRAF6/NF-kappa B/AMPs axis-mediated defense response and facilitated the expression of antimicrobial peptides to oppose infection.

Summary: The drug Coumarin 3004 was found to significantly inhibit WSSV replication and reduce mortality in infected shrimp, showing potential for aquaculture application. It may promote AMPs-related gene expressions to inhibit WSSV replication, but does not entirely block transmission. Consecutive use of Coumarin 3004 further decreased mortality in infected shrimp, offering novel possibilities for treating WSSV infection in shrimp farming.

Summary: After evaluating the effects of functional feeds on gene expression and WSSV resistance in Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp, it was found that shrimp fed with turmeric and maca meal, as well as algae extract, showed higher survival rates against WSSV infection compared to those fed with reference feed, vitamin C, and beta-glucan. The transcriptomic response of shrimp fed with turmeric and maca meal and algae extract feeds indicated differentially expressed genes potentially related to WSSV resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the susceptibility of mud crabs to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) compared to shrimp. The results show that mud crabs have relatively lower mortality rates when infected with WSSV compared to shrimp. The viral load in different tissues also varies between shrimp and mud crabs.

Summary: In this study, the recombinant protein VP28 (VP26 or VP24) was used for immune protection experiment. Crayfish immunized with VP28 showed a higher survival rate compared to those immunized with VP26 or VP24 after WSSV challenge. VP28 immunization inhibited WSSV replication in crayfish, increasing the survival rate to 66.67% after infection. VP28 treatment enhanced the expression of immune genes, total hemocyte counts, and enzyme activities in crayfish. It also reduced hemocyte apoptosis, both before and after WSSV infection.

Summary: As the sole species of the new genus Decapodiridovirus in the family Iridoviridae, Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) has been identified as the causative agent of a new disease leading to mass mortalities of shrimp, prawn and crayfish. A study in Guangdong Province of China found that DIV1 could infect lymphoid organ and myoepithelial cells of shrimp, expanding the knowledge on target organs for this pathogen.

Summary: The virulence of Vp(AHPND) is determined by both the expression of pirAB(VP) and mediated by ISVal1, affecting genes involved in flagellar motility and primary metabolism. Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of Vp(AHPND) strains provides valuable information on the virulence factors affecting the pathogenicity of Vp(AHPND.

Summary: Many Pseudoalteromonas strains can produce bioactive compounds with antimicrobial activities. This study focused on a probiotic candidate P.flavipulchra CDM8 to reveal its novel antibacterial mechanism and risks for antibiotic resistance dissemination. Strain CDM8 displayed broad antibacterial activities, formed floating biofilm, and showed multi-antibiotic resistance, potentially due to the vesicle/pilus-like structures on its outer surface.
