The paper identifies age-related epigenetic, transcriptional, and metabolic reprogramming in oysters that increases tolerance to a viral disease, revealing an evolutionary trade-off between growth and antiviral defense.

The paper isolates bacteria from Magallana gigas microbiota that reduce V. aestuarianus infection in oysters, showing potential as probiotics for disease control.

This study tracks OsHV-1 and host transcriptomes in haemocytes from susceptible and less susceptible Pacific oysters over 24 hours post-infection, revealing family-specific immune responses and viral dynamics.

This study investigates OsHV-1 viral evolution in response to oyster host genetic variation, finding genetic homogenization and stronger positive selection in susceptible hosts.

This paper evaluates long-read sequencing for characterizing the OsHV-1 genome from infected M. gigas tissues, showing improved accuracy compared to short-read methods.

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

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