Notably, correlation analysis of intestinal microbial variation with host immunity showed that expansion of pathogenic bacteria (Vibrio and Photobacterium) in DIV1 infection could increased the expression of NF-κB inhibitors cactus-like and Toll interacting protein (Tollip), which may limit the TLR-mediated immune response and ultimately lead to further DIV1 infection. Here, TOLLIP is linked to infection.
