A total of Marsupeneaus japonicus 80,929,652 Illumina reads, including 79,525,942 high quality reads were obtained in this study. From these, WSSV 40,231 unigenes with a mean length of 1557 bp were assembled using Trinity de novo software and 28,746 Vibrio alginolyticus cDNA were matched in the NCBI database. Then we compared the transcriptome changes after white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) or Vibrio alginolyticus infection. A total of 19,872 putative proteins were classified functionally into 25 molecular families in the cluster of orthologous groups. KEGG pathway analysis identified that the metabolic pathway possessed more unigenes (1358 unigenes), followed by biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, Huntington's disease and RNA transport. Important immune functions like apoptosis, phagocytosis, and lysosomes were in response to WSSV and V. alginolyticus early infection. Only 26 transcripts were sig- nificantly up-regulated or down-regulated after WSSV infection showed compared with V. alginolyticus. Crustin- like protein, endonuclease-reverse transcriptase, putative nuclease HARBI1-like, diphthamide biosynthesis protein 7 and hormone receptor 3 were involved in the immune response to WSSV or V. alginolyticus infection. These transcriptome datasets accelerate our understanding of the innate immune mechanisms in M. japonicus and other crustaceans. 1.

In addition, many Crustaceans lack an adaptive immune system and rely totally on the genes were found to be related to the innate immune system in other innate immune system to resist pathogen invasion. The innate immune species, such as pattern recognition receptors, antimicrobial peptides, reaction comprises cellular reactions such as phagocytosis, nodule for- proteases and protease inhibitors, signal transduction proteins, apop- mation and encapsulation performed by hemocytes. Hemocytes are tosis-related proteins, and antioxidant proteins. crucial for the immune system in crustaceans as they are the main production site for immune recognition molecules and initiate the hu- moral reaction like phagocytosis [7,8].
