Immune Memory-like Responses of Akoya Pearl Oyster to Pinctada Birnavirus
acquires resistance to PiBV reinfection, and at least part of this resistance is mediated within the mantle, independently of other tissues. Culture supernatants of mantle explants from previously infected oysters were positive for viral genomic RNA even without viral inoculation, suggesting that persistent infection may contribute to the maintenance of immune-like responses.
