Study on the transmission of tremor disease (TD) in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Crustacea: Decapoda)

Molecular cloning and characterization of peroxiredoxin 6 from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

“…With the development of intensive culture and environmental deterioration, various diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and rickettsia-like organisms had frequently occurred in cultured E. sinensis populations [20][21][22], which resulted in enormous losses to the crab aquaculture. Better understanding of the knowledge on the immune defence system of crab will be beneficial to the development of health management and disease control in crab aquaculture.…”

A thioredoxin with antioxidant activity identified from Eriocheir sinensis

“…Recently, crab culture in China is suffering a severe mortality problem [22,23], resulting in decreased production. Invertebrates depend on the humoral and cellular components of the innate immune system to eliminate foreign invaders [24] and understanding the immune defense mechanisms of crabs could give new insights into health management and disease control in crustacean aquaculture.…”

Molecular cloning, genomic organization and functional analysis of an anti-lipopolysaccharide factor from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

“…With the development of intensive culture, various diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and rickettsia-like organisms had frequently occurred in cultured E. sinensis populations [1][2][3][4][5][6] and caused catastrophic losses to the crab aquaculture. Understanding the immune defence mechanisms of the species and characterization of immune effectors are believed to be helpful to health management and diseases control in crab aquaculture.…”
