An increasing number of evidences have shown that invertebrate taxa can be primed to produce immune memory to resist the secondary infection of pathogens, which was considered as a viable option to protect invertebrates from pathogens. In this work, we compared the protective effect of several different immune priming methods on the Vibrio alginolyticus secondary infection of the Crassostrea gigas. The results showed that C. gigas primed with live V. alginolyticus had higher ROS level, which led to hemocytes necrosis and higher mortality rate in the later stage. Low-dose of formalin-inactivated V. alginolyticus (including 5 × 104 CFU/mL and 5 × 105 CFU/mL) elicited appropriate immune response in C. gigas, protecting C. gigas from V. alginolyticus infection. Immersion with 5 × 104 CFU/mL formalin-inactivated V. alginolyticus was performed to prime C. gigas immunity in the trans-generational immune priming. Trans-generational immune priming significantly increased the resistance of larvae to various Vibrio species. Overall, these results suggested that low-dose of formalin-inactivated V. alginolyticus can protect C. gigas from secondary infection and confer broad-spectrum Vibrio resistance on offspring. This work provided valuable information toward a new direction for the protection of C. gigas from Vibrio infection. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
