Conjugative Transfer of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease-Causing pVA1-Type Plasmid Is Mediated by a Novel Self-Encoded Type IV Secretion System

Conjugative Transfer of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease-Causing pVA1-Type Plasmid Is Mediated by a Novel Self-Encoded Type IV Secretion System

ABSTRACT The pathogenic pVA1-type plasmids that carry pirAB toxin genes are the genetic basis for Vibrio to cause acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), a lethal shrimp disease posing an urgent threat to shrimp aquaculture. Emerging evidence also demonstrate the rapid spread of pVA1-type p...
