An updated molecular basis for mussel immunity
M Gerdol, P Venier - Fish & shellfish immunology, 2015 - Elsevier
Non-self recognition with the consequent tolerance or immune reaction is a crucial process
to succeed as living organisms. At the same time the interactions between host species and …

Immunity in molluscs: recognition and effector mechanisms, with a focus on bivalvia
The study of molluscan immune systems, in particular those of bivalve molluscs (eg, clams,
oysters, scallops, mussels), has experienced great growth in recent decades, mainly due to …

Host–endosymbiont genome integration in a deep-sea chemosymbiotic clam
Endosymbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria has enabled many deep-sea invertebrates to
thrive at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, but most previous studies on this mutualism …
