Transcriptome Analysis of Potential Genes Involved in Innate Immunity in Mudflat Crab (<i>Helice tientsinensis</i>).

ABSTRACT: The mudflat crab (H. tientsinensis) is a dominant species in coastal tidal flat areas, primarily inhabiting the high tide region of the intertidal zone, and possesses significant ecological and economic value. Vibrio species are one of the main bacterial pathogens responsible for diseases in marine organisms, and they are widely distributed in seawater and estuarine environments. However, the immune mechanisms employed by H. tientsinensis in response to Vibrio infections remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the physiological and immune mechanisms by analyzing the structural changes and differential gene expression in the gill and hepatopancreas following Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. The results indicate that V. parahaemolyticus infe
