| Abstract |
The parasite Bonamia ostreae that infects oysters originated in California and was introduced to Europe via the transport of oysters (1979). The presence of the species in the Belgian territory (Sluice Dock of Ostend) was only confirmed in 1998-1999, although this may not correspond with the year of its first introduction. In France, the Netherlands and Belgium, the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis almost disappeared as a result of this parasite. Infection with this blood cell parasite causes inflammation in flat oysters, often resulting in death after two to three years. Both the Japanese oyster Crassostrea/Magallana gigas and the common mussel Mytilus edulis appear to be resistant. |
