Native molluscs alleviate water quality impacts of invasive crayfish.

Article Synopsis
- Freshwater ecosystems are at high risk from invasive species, particularly the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), which worsens water quality by increasing turbidity and nutrients while decreasing native plant life.
- A study showed that native species like the snail Bellamya aeruginosa and the mussel Sinanodonta woodiana can help mitigate the crayfish's negative impact on water quality and support the growth of native aquatic plants.
- Maintaining a healthy population of these native molluscs could be crucial for preserving clear-water conditions in lakes affected by crayfish invasions.
was known previously as an opportunistic pathogen of animals. However, there are few reports regarding the pathogenicity of . In September 2020, geese contracted a disease of unknown cause which brought economic losses to a farm in Jiangsu Province, China, prompting a series of investigations.

In this study, we focused on the anti-PEDV and anti-proinflammatory cytokine secretion mechanisms of GLY. We found that PEDV infection had no effect on toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) protein and mRNA levels, but that TLR4 regulated PEDV infection and the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines.
