“…However, Havanapan et al (2014) claim that a crustin from P. monodon binds yellow head virus. By contrast, Hipolito et al (2014) failed to detect any effects of crustin against white spot syndrome virus. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one report of penaeidins having antiviral activity, although this was obtained only at near cytotoxic concentrations and with viruses not pathogenic for penaeid shrimp (Carriel-Gomes et al, 2007).…”

This review describes the main types of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) synthesised by crustaceans, primarily those identified in shrimp, crayfish, crab and lobster. It includes an overview of their range of microbicidal activities and the current landscape of our understanding of their gene expression patterns in different body tissues. It further summarises how their expression might change following various types of immune challenges. The review further considers proteins or protein fragments from crustaceans that have antimicrobial properties but are more usually associated with other biological functions, or are derived from such proteins. It discusses how these unconventional AMPs might be generated at, or delivered to, sites of infection and how they might contribute to crustacean host defence in vivo. It also highlights recent work that is starting to reveal the extent of multi-functionality displayed by some decapod AMPs, particularly their participation in other aspects of host protection. Examples of such activities include proteinase inhibition, phagocytosis, antiviral activity and haematopoiesis.

“…However, gene silencing also showed a more complex role of AMPs in the immune response of shrimp. Indeed, Type II crustins, which are not active against Gram-negative bacteria in vitro [46], participate in the resistance of L. vannamei and M. japonicus to Gram-negative V. penaeicida in vivo [92,93]. In addition, through the use of gene silencing, AMPs were shown to orchestrate a key interface with the resident microbiota in marine invertebrates.…”

One contribution of 13 to a theme issue 'Evolutionary ecology of arthropod antimicrobial peptides'. Aquaculture contributes more than one-third of the animal protein from marine sources worldwide. A significant proportion of aquaculture products are derived from marine protostomes that are commonly referred to as 'marine invertebrates'. Among them, penaeid shrimp (Ecdysozosoa, Arthropoda) and bivalve molluscs (Lophotrochozoa, Mollusca) are economically important. Mass rearing of arthropods and molluscs causes problems with pathogens in aquatic ecosystems that are exploited by humans. Remarkably, species of corals (Cnidaria) living in non-exploited ecosystems also suffer from devastating infectious diseases that display intriguing similarities with those affecting farmed animals. Infectious diseases affecting wild and farmed animals that are present in marine environments are predicted to increase in the future. This paper summarizes the role of the main pathogens and their interaction with host immunity, with a specific focus on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and pathogen resistance against AMPs. We provide a detailed review of penaeid shrimp AMPs and their role at the interface between the host and its resident/pathogenic microbiota. We also briefly describe the relevance of marine invertebrate AMPs in an applied context. This article is part of the themed issue 'Evolutionary ecology of arthropod antimicrobial peptides'.

“…MjGal-silenced shrimp had significantly higher levels of bacteria in the haemolymph than the control shrimp, which confirmed that MjGal plays a key role in the shrimp defence against bacterial infections (Shi et al 2014). Furthermore, the role of M. japonicas crustin such as peptide (MjCRS) was examined in vivo by RNAi, and this research suggested that MjCRS is involved in antibacterial defence and might not have a critical function against viral infections (Hipolito et al, 2014). Viral disease outbreaks are a major concern in the development of the shrimp aquaculture industry.…”

As the RNA interference mechanism was discovered, researchers have made huge strides in unravelling biological mechanisms at the gene level in a wide range of organisms. RNAi is a simple and rapid method that allows silencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and is triggered by the introduction of double-stranded RNA into the cell, leading to the degradation of the corresponding mRNA. In this review, we will provide an overview of successful RNAi experiments to date in Crustacea, and shrimp in particular, with special focus on various potential applications of RNA interference in research and aquaculture. An important aspect of RNAi in any species is the delivery of the double-stranded RNA and the barriers that have to be overcome to get the dsRNA into the target cells. Different options, experimental procedures, success rates and challenges in using RNAi are discussed in this review
