Transcriptome for Macrobrachium nipponense and Litopenaeus vannamei after WSSV challenge
This is a comparative transcriptomics approach to elucidate the molecular basis of differential resistance to White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) between the highly susceptible Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and the remarkably resistant oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). The findings provide novel insights into the antiviral immunity of crustaceans and identify promising genetic targets for breeding WSSV-resistant shrimp strains, offering a sustainable solution for disease management in aquaculture.
