Elevated temperature and decreased salinity impacts on exogenous Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection of eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica.

ABSTRACT: Anthropogenic carbon emissions have resulted in drastic oceanic changes, including increased acidity, increased temperature, and decreased salinity. Anthropogenic carbon emissions have resulted in drastic oceanic changes, including increased acidity, increased temperature, and decreased salinity. Few studies have directly assessed the compounded impact of alterations to oceanic conditions on oyster physiology and the relation to the presence of V. parahaemolyticus. This project investigated the relationship between projected climate scenarios and their influence on both eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, and the aquatic bacteria, Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Specifically, we examined whether an increase in water temperature and/or decrease in salinity would impair oyster resistance
