- To determine the effect of heat stress on shrimp immunity and protection against Vibrio parahaemolyticus AHPND infection
- To identify and characterize shrimp pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in anti-WSSV infection
- To identify and characterize shrimp proteins in signaling pathways (Toll, Imd and JAK/STAT) and clathrin-mediated endocytosis responding to viral infection
