Microbial education plays a crucial role in harnessing the beneficial properties of microbiota for infectious disease protection in Crassostrea gigas

L. Dantan, P. Carcassonne, L. Degremont, B. Morga, M.-A. Travers, B. Petton, M. Mege, E. Maurouard, J.-F. Allienne, G. Courtay, O. Romatif, J. Pouzadoux, R. Lami, L. Intertaglia, Y. Gueguen, , C. Cosseau

This study shows that exposing Pacific oyster larvae to beneficial microbes during early life stages enhances their resistance to POMS and Vibrio aestuarianus infections.

Antiviral protection in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas against OsHV-1 infection using UV-inactivated virus

B. Morga, M. Mege, N. Faury, L. Degremont, B. Petton, J.-F. Pepin, T. Renault, C. Montagnani

This study shows UV-inactivated OsHV-1 can prime the Pacific oyster immune system, increasing survival and blocking viral replication against OsHV-1 infection.

Phylogenomic evidence for host specialization and genetic divergence in OsHV-1 infecting Magallana gigas and Ostrea edulis

C. Pelletier, G. Chevignon, N. Faury, I. Arzul, C. Garcia, B. Chollet, T. Renault, B. Morga, M. Jacquot

This study analyzes OsHV-1 genomes from two oyster species to show host-driven genetic divergence and cross-species transmission.

Epigenetic then genetic variations underpin rapid adaptation of oyster populations (Crassostrea gigas) to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS)

J. Gawra, A. Valdivieso, F. Roux, M. Laporte, J. de Lorgeril, Y. Gueguen, M. Saccas, J.-M. Escoubas, C. Montagnani, D. Destoumieux-Garzon, F. Lagarde, M. Leroy, P. Haffner, B. Petton, C. Cosseau, , J. Vidal-Dupiol

This study shows that both genetic and epigenetic variations contribute to rapid adaptation of oyster populations to POMS, with epigenetic factors explaining a significant portion of phenotypic variation.

Cooperation and cheating orchestrate Vibrio assemblages and polymicrobial synergy in oysters infected with OsHV-1 virus

D. Oyanedel, A. Lagorce, M. Bruto, P. Haffner, A. Morot, Y. Dorant, S. de La Forest Divonne, F. Delavat, N. Inguimbert, C. Montagnani, B. Morga, E. Toulza, C. Chaparro, J.-M. Escoubas, Y. Labreuche, , D. Destoumieux-Garzon

The paper investigates Vibrio species interactions with OsHV-1 virus in oyster POMS, finding cooperative and cheating behaviors that shape disease pathogenesis.

Genetic diversity and connectivity of the Ostreid herpesvirus 1 populations in France: a first attempt to phylogeographic inference for a marine mollusc disease

J. Delmotte, C. Pelletier, B. Morga, R. Galinier, B. Petton, J.-B. Lamy, O. Kaltz, J.-C. Avarre, M. Jacquot, C. Montagnani, J.-M. Escoubas

The paper uses phylodynamic approaches to analyze genetic diversity and connectivity of OsHV-1 populations in French oyster-farming areas, revealing Marennes-Oleron Bay as the main source of diversity.

A grow-and-lock model for the control of flagellum length in trypanosomes

E. Bertiaux, B. Morga, T. Blisnick, B. Rotureau, P. Bastin

This paper investigates flagellum length control in Trypanosoma brucei, proposing a 'grow-and-lock' model where flagella elongate until a locking event fixes their length.
