TL;DR: The linking together of global experts in the culture, capture and trading of crustaceans with pathologists, epidemiologists, ecologists, therapeutics specialists and policy makers in the field of food security will allow these issues to be better identified and addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology: Avoidance of disease by social lobsters
TL;DR: It is shown how healthy, normally gregarious Caribbean spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus) avoid conspecifics that are infected with a lethal virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the parasitic dinoflagellates Hematodinium species and Hematodinium-like infections in marine crustaceans.
TL;DR: The biology and ecology of Hematodinium spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Gram-negative, obligate intracellular pleomorphic bacterium is found within membrane-bound vacuoles in the cytoplasm of abalone gastrointestinal epithelial cells and can be differentiated from other closely related alpha-Proteobacteria by its unique 16S rDNA sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The parasitic dinoflagellates of marine crustaceans
TL;DR: Characteristics of the life cycles of the parasitic dinoflagellates of crustaceans must be applied cautiously to the systematics of the taxa, as these are often associated with host-parasite systems that occur in regions with unique hydrological features, such as fjords or poorly draining estuaries with shallow sills.
