Vaccines and crustacean aquaculture—A mechanistic exploration

Abstract excerpt

One of the dogmas of comparative (evolutionary) immunology for the last few decades has been that all invertebrates lack any form of immunological memory similar to that found in jawed vertebrates. Vaccinating invertebrates, such as shrimp, should therefore be an ineffective management strategy resulting in no more than short-lived, non-specific immune stimulation. Recent studies in crustaceans and insects, howeve...
