Vibrio harveyi is regarded as serious pathogen for marine fishes. To evaluate the physiological responses of spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) after V. harveyi infection, four biochemical biomarkers including alanine amino transferase (ALT), albumin (ALB), total protein (TP) and glucose (GLU) were measured in serum. Our results showed that V. harveyi infection significantly influenced the concentration of ALT, ALB and GLU. Additionally, five interleukin-17 (IL-17) and five IL-17 receptors (IL-17R) genes were identified in spotted sea bass and their gene structures were characterized. Furthermore, the expression patterns of IL-17 and IL-17R genes were determined by qPCR in liver, intestine, spleen and head kidney after V. harveyi infection. All IL-17 and IL-17R genes exhibited time- and tissue-dependent expressions. Several tested genes were dramatically induced by V. harveyi treatment, particularly IL-17A/F1 in liver and head kidney, IL-17A/F2 in head kidney, IL-17RC in spleen with more than 10-fold increases, which suggested their potential essential roles against bacterial infection.

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is one of the most pivotal factors of the TNF family and plays an essential biological role in immunity. However, the antibacterial function and mechanism of TNFα in teleosts are relatively poorly understood. In this study, a novel TNFα from Trachinotus ovatus (TroTNFα) was characterized.

Vibrio harveyi is a common sort of pathogenic bacterium in marine, which annually gives rise to huge financial losses in aquaculture industry. Flagellin is one of the important virulence factors for bacteria, but meanwhile it is also a preferable vaccine candidate. In this study, we have identified and analyzed two flagellin antigens of V.

Aquaculture is crucial for meeting global seafood demand; however, intensification often leads to the development of bacterial diseases that threaten productivity. Dicentrarchus labrax, a key species in European aquaculture, is highly vulnerable to vibriosis, primarily caused by Vibrio harveyi. This study investigates genetic diversity of V.

The small abalone (Haliotis diversicolor) is an economic shellfish cultured in the south coast of China. In recent years, the frequent occurrence of the disease has led to significant mortality in abalone farms. Deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (DMBT1), a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) protein family, plays an important role in host defense.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, potent molecules that serve as a crucial first line of defense across a wide range of organisms, including fish. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial properties of a novel peptide, spanning residues 52 to 80 of the full-length histone H2A protein, comprising a total of 29 amino acids. This peptide, designated as Histone H2A-29 (TroH2A-29), was derived from the golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) and evaluated for its activity against both Gram-positive bacteria, Lactococcus garvieae and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Gram-negative bacteria, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio harveyi.
