First regression infection experiment based on Koch’s postulates. a Two criteria for screening target bacteria and fungi. b S. chilikensis, S. putrefaciens, S. xiamenensis, V. alginolyticus, V. fluvialis, and V. parahaemolyticus which met both the two criteria causing WMS with two typical symptoms, but another bacterium and six fungi which unmatched the two criteria did not. c Number of WMS crabs in each group at each observation time. d Statistical significance of the corresponding bacteria quantity in the hemolymph of WMS crabs in each infection group and that of healthy crabs in the control group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001
