Oysters that occupy estuarine and intertidal habitats have well-developed stress tolerance
mechanisms to tolerate harsh and dynamically changing environments. In this review, we …

From the first detection in the Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in 1972, herpes‐like
viruses/herpesviruses have been identified in at least 20 bivalve species and have caused …

Infectious diseases are mostly explored using reductionist approaches despite repeated
evidence showing them to be strongly influenced by numerous interacting host and …

Massive mortality outbreaks in cultured bivalves have been reported worldwide and they
have been associated with infection by a range of viral and bacterial pathogens. Due to their …

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of farming sites, seeding date, age of

Since 2008, mass mortalities of 1-yr-old Crassostrea gigas associated with the ostreid
herpesvirus OsHV-1 μVar have occurred along all the coasts of France when seawater …

Successive disease outbreaks in oyster (Crassostrea gigas) beds in France have resulted in
dramatic losses in production, and subsequent decline in the oyster-farming industry …

Viruses are highly abundant in the oceans, and how filter-feeding molluscs without adaptive
immunity defend themselves against viruses is not well understood. We studied the …

Mortalities of oyster Crassostrea gigas seed associated with ostreid herpesvirus OsHV-1
μVar have been observed in many oyster-producing countries since 2008. The present …

Abstract The ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) is one of the major pathogens affecting the
