Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: Development of a DNA microarray to identify markers of disease in pearl oysters (Pinctada maxima) and to assess overall oyster health

Recent studies of Sydney rock oysters by A/Prof Raftos' group has identified a clear link between environmental stress, suppression of the oyster immune system and susceptibility to infectious disease (Peters and Raftos, 2003; Butt and Raftos, 2007a,b; Butt et al., 2006, 2007). The immune system of...
