Effects of Vibrio harveyi infection on the biochemistry, histology and transcriptome in the hepatopancreas of ivory shell (Babylonia areolata)

The ivory shell (Babylonia areolata) is one of the most promising high quality marine products. However, ivory shell is susceptible to Vibrio harveyi infection during the culture period. In this study, we investigated the biochemical indicators, histological changes and transcriptomic response in the hepatopancreas of ivory shells from the PBS control group (PC) and infection group (A3) with 1 × 10
