Correlation between variations in promoter region of LvITGβ gene and anti-infection trait of shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, against a microsporidium, Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei

Fig. 1. Sample collection, EHP load, and the relative expression levels of LvITGβ between the EHP-susceptible (Sus) and EHP-resistant (Res) groups. (A) Overview of sample collection and shrimps grading into the Sus and the Res groups. (B) Comparison of EHP load between the Sus and Res groups. (C) Relative expression levels of LvITGβ in the Sus and Res groups. “*” indicate P < 0.05.
