Pathogenesis of experimental vibriosis in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) larvae based on accurate positioning of GFP-tagged Vibrio strains and histopathological and ultrastructural changes of the host Universiteit Gent
Bacteria, especially Vibrio spp., are largely responsible for larval diseases in shellfish aquaculture. Despite the severe impact of bacterial diseases on larval health, only a few direct studies have characterized the pathogenesis of vibriosis in bivalve larvae. To clarify the onset and advancement of vibriosis in blue mussel Mytilus edulis larvae, two known larval pathogens Vibrio splendidus ME9 and Vibrio anguillarum NB10 were tagged with ...
