Organic pollutants exhibiting endocrine disrupting activity (Endocrine Disruptors—EDs) are
prevalent over a wide range in the aquatic ecosystems; most EDs are resistant to …

Marine bivalves are widespread in coastal environments and, due to their filter‐feeding
habit, they can accumulate large numbers of bacteria thus acting as passive carriers of …

As the nanotechnology industries increase production, nanoscale products will enter the
aquatic environment, posing a possible threat to aquatic organisms. Suspension-feeding …

Non-self recognition with the consequent tolerance or immune reaction is a crucial process
to succeed as living organisms. At the same time the interactions between host species and …

The study of molluscan immune systems, in particular those of bivalve molluscs (eg, clams,
oysters, scallops, mussels), has experienced great growth in recent decades, mainly due to …

The potential for human and ecological toxicity associated with nanomaterials is a growing
area of investigation. In mammalian cells, nanoparticles have been shown to induce …

The effect of live bacteria (Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Vibrio anguillarum), and PAMPs
(poly I: C, zymosan, LPS, LTA and CpG) on the production of intermediate toxic radicals …

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) are a class of emerging
environmental pollutants with the potential of affecting various aquatic organisms through …

Bivalves' immunity has received much more attention in the last decade, which resulted to a
