Key Points

This research aims to explore how Infection by Hematodinium sp. affects the bacterial community and its functionality in shore crabs.
Analyzed haemolymph samples from shore crabs
Investigated the composition of the bacteriome
Established the relationship between bacterial structure and disease progression
Altered bacteriome composition observed during advanced disease state
Clear correlation between bacterial community structure and disease severity
Impacts on bacteriome function were identified, supporting the link to health status

Implication

Experiments reveal changes in bacterial community composition linked to disease in shore crabs, suggesting microbial influence on health.

Abstract

sp. Our experiments reveal a clear link between bacterial community structure-function and the advancing disease state.
