Near-Full-Length Genome Sequence of a Novel Reovirus from the Chinese Mitten Crab, Eriocheir sinensis

Near-Full-Length Genome Sequence of a Novel Reovirus from the Chinese Mitten Crab, Eriocheir sinensis

A novel Eriocheir sinensis reovirus (EsRV) was identified using deep-sequencing techniques in crabs afflicted with trembling disease (TD). Near-full-length genome sequences of 12 segments of EsRV were obtained. The genome of EsRV will facilitate further studies on the causative agent of TD.

Draft genome of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis

BACKGROUND The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is one of the most studied and economically important crustaceans in China. Its transition from a swimming to a crawling method of movement during early development, anadromous migration during growth, and catadromous migration during breeding have been attractive features for research. However, knowledge of the underlying molecular mechan...

Effect of temperature stress on the survival of juvenile Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis)

Eriocheir sinensis, which is an important aquaculture species, belongs to the class Crustacea. To discuss the temperature tolerance of E. sinensis, the survival rates of juvenile crabs of E. sinensis were determined in this paper using a series of temperature settings (normal temperature, 25°C, 30°C, 32°C, 34°C, 35°C, 36°C, 38°C, 40 °C). The results indicated that except the normal temperature ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of three novel Hemocyanins from Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis

Molecular characterization of a cytosolic manganese superoxide dismutase from the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis.

A cytosolic manganese superoxide dismutase gene (Es-cMnSOD) was cloned from the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis, using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and the rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The open reading frame of Es-cMnSOD is 867 bp in length and encodes a 288-amino acid protein without a signal peptide. The calculated molecular mass of the translated protein of Es-...
