Exploring genomic resistance to coinfection: Single or dual pathogen infection by Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 and Vibrio aestuarianus in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas

Key Points

• Genomic resistance plays a crucial role in survival against dual pathogen infections in Pacific oysters.
• The study highlights interactions between Ostreid herpesvirus 1 and Vibrio aestuarianus in these oyster populations.
• Assessment involved examining the response of Crassostrea gigas to single and dual infections under controlled conditions.
• Understanding these mechanisms may help enhance oyster resilience in aquaculture settings against multiple pathogens.
