The pathways by which pathogens invade Fenneropenaeus indicus, the potential colonization in various tissues and the disease transmission mechanisms are unclear. The aims of the present study were to visualize the colonization and pathogenesis of GFP-tagged Vibrio parahaemolyticus, in various tissues of F. indicus to evaluate the pathogen interaction. Among the three strains isolated, a virulent strain VpDAHV2 was tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP-VpDAHV2) and validated for both its growth characteristics and its virulence as a genuine model for F. indicus infection. VpDAHV2 was positive for toxR and tlh genes and negative for tdh genes. CLSM images revealed that maximum colonization was observed in the haemolymph of the F. indicus challenged with GFP-VpDAHV2. The haemolymph was the primary site for the colonization of GFP-VpDAHV2 in F. indicus. The enteric localization occurred independently of the flagellum or motility of GFP-VpDAH-V2 through the intestinal route. The F. indicus infection model suggests that the haemolymph and the intestine represent the sites of infection by GFP-VpDAHV2, and hence are the active sites of pathogen interactions. GFP tagging of V. parahaemolyticus is a new and systemic approach to determine the presence of bacteria in vivo for the confirmation of host pathogen interactions in aquaculture studies.
