0301945JanechThe International Research Fellowship Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will support a twenty-four month research fellowship by Dr. Michael G. Janech to work with Dr. Evelyne Bachere at the University of Montpellier.During development, from larvae to adult, crustaceans encounter a number of harmful pathogens that often prove fatal during environmental stress. One major pathogen is the bacteria, Vibrio penaeicida, which is implicated in causing juvenile vibriosis. In this project, the PI will identify immune genes that are important in preventing vibriosis in juvenile shrimp. The results will provide a basis for the selection of disease-resistance in young shrimp, in an effort to reduce losses in the aquaculture industry due to disease.

国际研究奖学金计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。 该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用独特或互补的设施，专业知识和国外的实验条件。Janech与蒙彼利埃大学的Evelyne Bachere博士合作。在从幼虫到成虫的发育过程中，甲壳类动物会遇到许多有害的病原体，这些病原体在环境压力下往往是致命的。 一种主要的病原体是细菌，即杀对虾弧菌，它与引起青少年弧菌病有关。 在这个项目中，PI将识别在预防幼虾弧菌病中重要的免疫基因。 研究结果将为对虾抗病性的选育提供依据，以减少养殖业因病害造成的损失。
