Description:

Protozoan parasites Perkinsus marinus (dermo) and Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) are associated with extensive epizootic mortality in eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica populations along the coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. For decades, both diseases have resulted in substantial losses to ecological functioning of natural oyster habitat and have undermined the economic stability of wild oyster fisheries and mariculture industries in the USA. Both pathogens are widespread in coastal Georgia and are established regionally within native oyster populations, yet a clear timeline of transmission is not defined.
