Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Molecular Immunopathogenesis of Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (<i>Trionyx sinensis</i>) Infected with <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i>

Although hemorrhagic sepsis caused by <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> infection is the dominant disease in the aquaculture of Chinese soft-shelled turtle, information on its molecular pathology is seriously limited. In this study, ninety turtles intraperitoneally injected with <i>A. hy...
