It is a difficult task to describe what constitutes a 'healthy'shellfish (eg, crustacean, bivalve).
Visible defects such as discolouration, missing limbs or spines, fouling, lesions, and …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones with critical roles in the maintenance
of cellular proteostasis. HSPs, which regulate protein folding and refolding, assembly …

The differences in physiological and immunological parameters and pathological damage to
organ tissues exposed to chronic heat stress provide the basis for evaluating heat resistance …

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus
carrying toxin-producing plasmid, has led to severe mortalities in farmed penaeid shrimp …

This review describes the main types of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) synthesised by
crustaceans, primarily those identified in shrimp, crayfish, crab and lobster. It includes an …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved, cytoprotective proteins, the best know
function of which is to facilitate the proper folding of nascent proteins. Environmental …

Simple Summary The small intestine is a pivotal organ in the alimentary tract of chickens.
Approximately 90% of digestion and absorption occurs in the small intestine. The expression …

Abstract Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) acts as a molecular chaperone and a stress protein,
but also plays important roles in innate and adaptive immune responses. Previous studies …
