However, its cellular immune response to major pathogens like yellow head virus (YHV) remains poorly understood, limiting effective disease management. In this study, we established a comprehensive reference transcriptome for P. merguiensis by integrating data from 13 major tissues and conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on hemocytes under normal and YHV-infected conditions. We identified eight distinct hemocyte clusters (cluster 0-7) and demonstrated that YHV infection triggers a massive turnover of the hemocyte landscape. Specifically, mature immune-active clusters expressing anti-lipopolysaccharide factors (ALFs) and lysozymes were significantly depleted, likely due to virus-induced apoptosis. Conversely, a marked expansion of an immature hemocyte progenitor cluster (cluster 4) was observed, indicating a host-driven emergency hematopoiesis response. Our analysis further revealed that global transcriptional changes are heavily biased by these composition shifts: 30.7% of the total 114 globally regulated genes were identified as cluster-specific markers. These findings provide a high-resolution model of crustacean immune dynamics and highlight the necessity of single-cell analysis for accurately deciphering host-pathogen interactions.
