摘要: Abstract Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) inhabit highly variable environments and are exposed to large seasonal shifts in temperature. Prevalence intensity of oyster diseases, particularly Perkinsus marinus (Dermo), increase during thermally stressful periods, thus posing additional stress on the host. Heat shock proteins (hsps) important protecting organisms from thermal overall environmental stress. Additionally, hsps may play protective roles for both host parasite infection. The interactive effects temperature disease heat protein expression oysters, however, unknown. In this study, using slot western blotting assays, intraspecific variation 70 (hsp70) was compared among stocks C. virginica known be resistant or susceptible Dermo at two sites Chesapeake Bay. Mortalities, shell heights, condition, P. infections were also examine relat...
