- •
QPX infection regulated the transcription of clam immune genes.
- •
Temperature strongly modulated clam response to QPX.
- •
Transcripts induced by QPX were enriched with highly variable immune recognition receptors.
- •
Resistant clams expressed higher levels of immune receptors as compared to susceptible ones.
