Figure 12. Silencing of LvSARM increases shrimp mortality after infection with V. alginolyticus but not WSSV.

The cumulative mortalities of shrimps injected with PBS, dsGFP (control) or dsLvSARM after WSSV (A) or V. alginolyticus (B) infection were recorded. The chi-square statistic was calculated to assess the differences in mortality rates by comparing the mortality of dsLvSARM injection group with that of the dsGFP injection group (*p<0.05; #p>0.05).
