Autophagy and white spot syndrome virus infection in crustaceans

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process of degradation in eukaryotes, which can form double-membrane vesicles for delivering the trapped cargo to lysosome for degradation, also facilitate host cells against the invasion of foreign pathogens. Recently, autophagy was reported to participate in viral infection in crustaceans. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the most severely viral pathogen for farmed...
