Crustacean Immunity

• This chapter provides a review of recent progress in the elucidation of innate immune mechanisms in crustaceans. Mainly due to the importance of crustacean aquaculture interest in this field is large and the subject for extensive research efforts. Here, we provide detailed data on the molecular characterisation of lectins, antiviral reactions, hemocyte formation and differentiation and on the regulation of innate immune pathways.
