Vibrios are ubiquitous and abundant in the aquatic environment. A high abundance of
vibrios is also detected in tissues and/or organs of various marine algae and animals, eg …

Bivalve aquaculture is seriously affected by many bacterial pathogens that cause high
losses in hatcheries as well as in natural beds. A number of Vibrio species, but also …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) exhibit intrinsic features such as density, hydrophobic
surface, or high surface/volume ratio, that are known to promote microbial colonization and …

We analyzed the usefulness of rpoA, recA, and pyrH gene sequences for the identification of
vibrios. We sequenced fragments of these loci from a collection of 208 representative …

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 …

The main microbial diseases affecting marine cultured bivalves have been revised on the
basis of the etiologic agents, pathogenesis and pathogenicity. Several recent bivalve …

Marine aquaculture relies on coastal habitats that will be affected by climate change. This
review assesses current knowledge of the threats and opportunities of climate change for …

Oyster species suffer from numerous disease outbreaks, often causing high mortality.
Because the environment cannot be controlled, genetic improvement for disease resistance …

A study was conducted to investigate the involvement of bacteria in oyster mortalities during
summer. Moribund and apparently healthy oysters were sampled during mortality events …

Shellfish production is seriously affected by bacterial pathogens that cause high losses in
hatcheries and in the aquaculture sector. A number of Vibrio species are considered …
