The Nudiviridae are a family of large double-stranded DNA viruses that infects the cells gut in invertebrates, including insects and crustaceans. phylogenetic range has recently been enhanced via description infecting penaeid shrimp, crangonid homarid lobsters portunid crabs. Here we extend this by presenting genome another nudivirus amphipod Dikerogammarus haemobaphes. virus, which host hepatopancreas, circular 119,754 bp length, encodes predicted 106 open reading frames. This novel virus...

Abstract Mangrove forests are productive ecosystems, acting as a sink for CO 2 , habitat diverse array of terrestrial and marine species, natural barrier to coastline erosion. The species that reside within mangrove ecosystems have important roles play, including litter decomposition the recycling nutrients. Crustacea detritivores in such understanding their limitations (i.e. disease) is an endeavour when considering larger ecological services provided. Histology metagenomics were used...
