Genomic selection for resistance to one pathogenic strain of Vibrio splendidus in blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The blue mussel is one of the major aquaculture species worldwide. In France, this species faces a significant threat from infectious disease outbreaks in both mussel farms and the natural environment over the past decade. Diseases caused by various pathogens, particularly Vibrio spp., have posed a significant challenge to the mussel industry. Genetic improvement of disease resistance can be an effective approach to overcoming this issue.

Methods

In this work, we tested genomic selection in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) to understand the genetic basis of resistance to one pathogenic strain of Vibrio splendidus (strain 14/053 2T1) and to predict the accuracy of selection using both pedigree and genomic information. Additionally, we perform
