Transmissible cancers are malignant cell lineages that spread clonally between individuals.
Several such cancers, termed bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN), induce leukemia-like …

Populations of cancer cells are subject to the same core evolutionary processes as
asexually reproducing, unicellular organisms. Transmissible cancers are particularly striking …

Cancer, a disease due to uncontrolled cell proliferation is as ancient as multicellular
organisms. A 255-million-years-old fossilized forerunner mammal gorgonopsian is probably …

Some cancers have evolved the ability to spread from host to host by transmission of
cancerous cells. These rare biological entities can be considered parasites with a host …

Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is one of the most challenging and unrecognised diseases
occurring in aquatic fauna. It has been diagnosed in four bivalve species from the Gulf of …

Blue mussels from the genus Mytilus are an abundant component of the benthic community,
found in the high latitude habitats. These foundation species are relevant to the aquaculture …

Many pathogens can cause cancer, but cancer itself does not normally act as an infectious
agent. However, transmissible cancers have been found in a few cases in nature: in …

Cancer is an understudied but important process in wildlife that is predicted to have a
significant effect on the evolution of metazoan species due to negative effects on host …

Ecology and biogeography of bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN) are underexplored due
to its recent discovery and a challenging diagnostics. Blue mussels harbour two evolutionary …
