Scallop larvae resistant to a pathogenic Vibrio harbor host-associated bacteria with probiotic potential
2024-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The breeding of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus is threatened by mass mortality events mostly caused by bacterial pathogens of the genus Vibrio affecting larvae and spat cultivated in hatcheries. A strong genetic basis for the resistance of A. purpuratus larvae to vibriosis has been demonstrated, which is associated with an efficient energy metabolism and immunocompetence. However, various factors, including the...
