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 …

Although a wide range of viruses have been reported in marine molluscs, most of these
reports rely on ultrastructural examination and few of these viruses have been fully …

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 …

Infectious diseases are a major constraint to the expansion of shellfish production
worldwide. Pacific oyster mortality syndrome (POMS), a polymicrobial disease triggered by …

Background Massive mortality outbreaks affecting Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) spat in
various countries have been associated with the detection of a herpesvirus called ostreid …

Marine molluscs, like all living organisms, are constantly exposed to viruses and have
evolved efficient antiviral defences. We review here recent developments in molluscan …

Summary Ostreid herpesvirus type 1 (OsHV‐1) has become a problematic infective agent for
the P acific oyster C rassostrea gigas. In particular, the OsHV‐1 μVar subtype has been …

The complex interactions occurring between farmed bivalves and their potential pathogens
in the circumstances of global climate changes are current matter of study, owing to the …

For over a decade, Pacific oyster mortality syndrome (POMS), a polymicrobial disease,
induced recurring episodes of massive mortality affecting Crassostrea gigas oysters …

Despite the mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein (MAVS)-dependent RIG-I-like receptor
(RLR) signalling pathway in the cytosol plays an indispensable role in the antiviral immunity …
