Exploring different methods of Exaiptasia diaphana infection to follow Vibrio parahaemolyticus dissemination in the whole animal.

ABSTRACT: An increase in wastewater rejection and rising seawater temperature are the two main causes of the spreading of pathogenic bacteria in the ocean that present a risk to the health of marine organisms, i.e., corals. Deciphering the infectious mechanism is of interest to better disease management. The quantity of infecting bacteria as well as method of pathogen administration is an important parameter in studying host-pathogen interactions. In this study, we have tested two models of infection (bathing or injection) of Exaiptasia diaphana (E. diaphana) with a clinically isolated strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus expressing constitutively a Green Fluorescent Protein (Vp-GFP). We followed Vp-GFP dissemination over time with confocal microscopy at 6, 24, and 30 h. During the early time of infect
