Beta-1,3-1,6-glucan, derived from bakers' yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was used in the present study to investigate the extent to which glucan is able to protect spawners from white spot syndrome associated virus (WSSV), and whether this protection (if any) can be passed on to hatchlings via maternal transmission of immunity. Results showed that fewer spawners in the glucan-injected groups showed the clinical symptoms of red body coloration and white spots on the shell during the 15 days between eyestalk ablation and the end of repeated spawning. This suggests that the application of glucan might lead to a slight enhancement of disease resistance in spawners, although the differences were not statistically significant within the confidence limit chosen. Challenge results showed a significant increase in relative percent survival for larvae derived from groups of glucan-injected spawners compared to those derived from groups of untreated spawners. It therefore seems that a maternally transmitted disease resistance induced by glucan, protected the larvae against a WSSV infection. Glucan immersion was not only shown to be effective for nauplii derived from spawners that were not injected with glucan, it also provided additional, cumulative protection for nauplii which already had a maternally transmitted resistance to WSSV. This is the first documented demonstration of a maternal transmission of immunity in invertebrates.
