Abstract
The abstract summarizes the investigation into the expression profile of bio-defense genes in the gills of Penaeus monodon (black tiger shrimp) following vaccination with formalin-inactivated white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) vaccine. The study explores the molecular responses within the gill tissue, a critical immune organ in crustaceans, to elucidate the host's immune defense mechanisms activated by the vaccine. Through transcriptomic analysis, the research aims to identify and characterize the specific genes involved in the shrimp's defense against WSSV infection. The findings contribute valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the immune response to vaccination in Penaeus monodon, enhancing our understanding of the protective effects conferred by the formalininactivated WSSV vaccine in shrimp aquaculture.
Introduction
Aquaculture, particularly the cultivation of Penaeus monodon, stands as a pivotal component of the global seafood industry, providing a substantial source of protein and economic livelihood. However, the sustainable growth of this industry faces formidable challenges, notably the pervasive threat posed by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). This viral pathogen has been identified as a major impediment to shrimp farming, leading to significant economic losses and diminishing yields worldwide.
In response to the imperative need for effective disease management strategies, vaccination has emerged as a promising avenue for enhancing the resilience of shrimp populations against WSSV infections. Among these, the formalin-inactivated WSSV vaccine has demonstrated potential in bolstering the immune defenses of Penaeus monodon. Yet, despite its efficacy, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular underpinnings of the host's immune response, particularly within critical immune organs such as the gills, remains a significant knowledge gap.
The gill tissue, integral to respiratory processes in crustaceans, also plays a crucial role in immune defense. However, the specific mechanisms governing the gill's response to the formalin-inactivated WSSV vaccine in Penaeus monodon have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study seeks to bridge this gap by investigating the expression profile of bio-defense genes within the gill tissue of Penaeus monodon post-vaccination. Unraveling the molecular intricacies of this response is anticipated to shed light on the nuanced immune mechanisms triggered by the formalin-inactivated WSSV vaccine, thereby contributing valuable insights to the ongoing efforts in advancing shrimp aquaculture sustainability and disease mitigation strategies. Through transcriptomic analysis, this research endeavors to elucidate the molecular landscape of the shrimp gill's defense repertoire, providing a foundation for informed decision-making in the quest for resilient and thriving shrimp aquaculture practices [1-5].
Discussion
Interpretation of results
Begin by summarizing the key findings related to the expression profile of bio-defense genes in the gill tissue of Penaeus monodon following vaccination. Highlight any significant upregulation or downregulation of specific genes and their potential roles in the immune response.
Comparison with previous studies
