Interactions between gilthead seabream intestinal transcriptome and microbiota upon Enteromyxum leei infection: a multi-omic approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The enteric myxozoan parasite Enteromyxum leei is an important problem in gilthead seabream aquaculture invading the intestinal epithelium and leading to chronic intestinal inflammation, poor food conversion rates, cachexia, and mortalities, with no treatments available, resulting in significant economic losses. It is known that myxozoan infections are affected by factors such as temperature, duration of exposure, stocking densities, and seasonality. Gut microbiota has key effects on host health, including disease resistance and immune system training and development, tightly interacting with the host, affecting systemic and local physiological functions. This study aimed to gain insights into the host-microbiota-parasite interactions integrating metataxonomics, host tra
