Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The protozoan parasite Bonamia ostreae (Pichot et al., 1980) is a serious pathogen of the native European flat oyster Ostrea edulis. Field and laboratory based experiments were carried out in Ireland and Spain to investigate the susceptibility to this protozoan of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, the mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis, the European native clam Ruditapes decussatus and the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Their ability to act as vectors or intermediate hosts was also investigated. The study corroborated previous findings that demonstrated that flat oysters can be successfully infected both naturally in the field and experimentally in the laboratory, and the pathogen can be transmitted directly between flat oysters in the laboratory. However, the other bivalves tested could not be infected with the parasite either naturally or experimentally, and these bivalves did not appear to act as vectors or intermediate hosts for the parasite. These results have implications for movements of bivalves between areas within the European Union.
