Anguillid herpesvirus (AngHV) is the causative agent of ‘mucus sloughing and hemorrhagic septicemia disease’ in eels. Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) has been reported to serve as oral administration of antibodies against bacterial and viral pathogens. In this study, an inactivated vaccine of AngHV was developed to immunise the laying hens, thereby facilitating the production of anti‐AngHV IgY. The yolks were subsequently collec...

Anguillid herpesvirus (AngHV) is a highly pathogenic agent that causes “Mucus sloughing and hemorrhagic septicemia disease” in eels, resulting in high morbidity and cumulative mortality rates. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of AngHV infection is essential for effective clinical management and epidemiological control. In this study, three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against AngHV were developed, and their specificity and affini...

Eel ( Anguilla sp.) is an important freshwater‐cultured species with high economic value in China. Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) has been proven to be the pathogen of “mucus sloughing and haemorrhagic septicaemia disease” in eels, resulting in significant mortality and substantial losses to the eel industry. Current diagnostic methods for detecting AngHV‐1 are limited to laboratory‐based tests, for example, conventional en...

Ecological divergence due to habitat difference plays a prominent role in the formation of new species, but the genetic architecture during ecological speciation and the mechanism underlying phenotypic divergence remain less understood. Two wild ancestors of rice ( Oryza rufipogon and Oryza nivara ) are a progenitor‐derivative species pair with ecological divergence and provide a unique system for studying ecological adaptatio...
