Molecular genetic variation within and among isolates of QPX (Thraustochytridae), a parasite of the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria.

Diseases of aquatic organisms - 14 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

The thraustochytrid known as QPX (Quahog Parasite Unknown) has sporadically caused disease in the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria along the east coast of North America since the 1960s. We hypothesized that genetically distinct QPX strains might be responsible for outbreaks of QPX disease in different areas and tested this hypothesis by comparing several QPX isolates recovered from the recent outbreak in Raritan...
