SOAT1 and Herpesviridae infectious disease: Oysters have innate immune response capacities such as phagocytosis, autophagy, apoptosis, humoral antimicrobial/antiviral peptides, the JAK/STAT pathway, RNA interference and receptors for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), many of which are relevant in herpesvirus infection in C. gigas [51,52,53,54,55,56,57].
