The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of marine polysaccharides from seaweed Enteromorpha on growth performance, immune responses, intestinal morphology and microbial community in the banana shrimp Fenn...
NF-kappa B dependent antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of critical importance in protecting insects or mammals from microorganisms infection. However, we still do not make clear signaling pathways in regulating AMPs expr...
Galectins are conserved family members with beta-galactosides affinity that play multiple functions in embryogenesis, development and regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. However, little functional studies were re...

In this study, the activities of 5 immunity related enzymes namely acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), phenoloxidase (PO), peroxidase (POD) and lysozyme phosphatase (LZM)) of Litopenaeus vannamei after th...
As important arthropod immune responses, prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation and Toll pathway initiation are mediated by serine proteinase cascades and regulated by serpins. Herein, a serine protease inhibitor (Lvserpin)...
As conserved nuclear factors, Akirins play critical roles in regulating antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) transcription downstream of NF-kappa B dependent signaling pathways in insects and mammals. However, no any functional...

The full-length Metapenaeus ensis neuroparsin (MeNPLP) cDNA was cloned which encodes a shrimp protein homologous to the insect neuroparsin and vertebrate insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP). MeNPLP cDNA is...
The banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) is a common cultural species worldwide. With the development of the shrimp farming industry, increasing number of diseases have emerged and cause huge impacts. Decapod iride...
Antibacterial peptides (AMPS) are expected to replace some or all of the antibiotics and become a new feed additive. However, the high production cost and unclear mechanism limited the application of AMPS. In this resear...
Hypoxia is one of the most common physiological stressors in shrimp farming. Post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs has been recognized as a ubiquitous strategy to enable transient phenotypic plasticity and adaptat...
As a new type of shrimp lethal virus, decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) has caused huge economic losses to shrimp farmers in China. Up to now, DIV1 has been detected in a variety of shrimps, but there is no report in Mar...
