TL;DR: Current knowledge of how WSSV infects and replicates in its host, and critique strategies for WSD treatment are assessed.

TL;DR: It is shown that presence/absence of drug-target orthologues are predictive of susceptible species for the more potent drugs, and for most drugs with a full set of ecotoxicity data, risk quotients assuming worst-case exposure assessments were below one in all European countries indicating low environmental risks for the endpoints assessed.

TL;DR: A new research platform tool, ECOdrug, is introduced that reliably connects drugs to their protein targets across divergent species and harmonizes ortholog predictions from multiple sources via a simple user interface underpinning critical applications for a wide range of studies in pharmacology, ecotoxicology and comparative evolutionary biology.

TL;DR: An assembled transcriptome for C. maenas has revealed the presence of a series of known targets and functional pathways that form part of their innate immune system and illustrate tissue specific differences in their expression patterns.

TL;DR: The findings advance understanding of reproductive biology of X. tropicalis and illustrate negative effects of linuron on reproductive processes at a concentration measured in freshwater environments.
