Rab1A functioned as a binding protein involved in Macrobrachium rosenbergii Taihu virus infection.

Macrobrachium rosenbergii Taihu virus (MrTV) is a virulent pathogen that mainly threatens M. rosenbergii larvae. Rab proteins, which are essential for controlling intracellular membrane trafficking, are hijacked by multiple viruses to complete their life cycle.

Establishment of a SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR for the detection of decapod iridescent virus 1.

Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) is an emerging pathogen that mainly threatens decapod crustaceans, causing high mortalities and leading to huge economic losses. In this study, a pair of specific primers were designed for the major capsid protein (MCP) gene of DIV1, and a SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR method was developed. The method displayed good linearity (R = 1.
