Recognizing Incipient Epizootic Shell Disease Lesions in the Carapace of the American Lobster, Homarus americanus Running title: Recognizing Incipient Epizootic Shell Disease in American Lobster
Causal factors leading to Epizootic Shell Disease (ESD) lesions in American Lobster, Homarus americanus, are still not well understood. We explore the structural and physiological bases for development of ESD to early visible stages from earlier stages invisible to unaided eye. We suggest a lobster shell model which develops structural functional vulnerability and explains the origin of ESD. Me...
متن کاملEffects of epizootic shell disease in American lobster Homarus americanus determined using a quantitative disease index.
The incidence of epizootic shell disease in American lobster Homarus americanus has increased in southern New England, U.S.A., in the last decade, but few longitudinal studies have followed the disease progress in individual lobsters or demonstrated direct effects on mortality or growth. Diseased lobsters were held in the laboratory for 1 yr, and the progression of disease and its effects on mo...
متن کاملRecognizing Incipient Epizootic Shell Disease Lesions in the Carapace 2 of the American Lobster, Homarus americanus
Causal factors leading to Epizootic Shell Disease (ESD) lesions in American Lobster, H. 20 americanus, are not well understood. We explore the structural and physiological bases for 21 development of ESD from preclinical stages invisible to unaided eye to early visible stages. We present 22 a lobster shell model which develops structural functional vulnerability and suggests plausible routes to...
متن کاملScanning electron microscopy investigation of epizootic lobster shell disease in Homarus americanus.
actin (2 forms) occurred 80 times (19%) and myosin (11 forms) was found 68 times (16%). The remaining ESTs could be classified as being involved in gene/protein expression (3%), immunity (7%), metabolism (31%), protein binding (7%), or cell signaling (8%) (Fig. 1). Some identified genes (11%) could not be classified into any of these groups. The sequences of all the ESTs generated from the bay ...
متن کاملEpizootic Shell Disease in American Lobster (homarus Americanus) in Massachusetts Coastal Waters: Interactions of Temperature, Maturity, and Intermolt Duration
An outbreak of shell disease in American lobster (Homarus americanus) over the past several years has generated a great deal of attention and concern regarding its causes and spread into New England coastal waters. An examination of the disease within Massachusetts state waters was conducted from 2000 through 2004. The overall average incidence observed in our data was 3% males and 8% females. ...
