A genome-wide association study for host resistance to Ostreid Herpesvirus in Pacific oysters ( <i>Crassostrea gigas</i> )
2017-11-24
Abstract excerpt
Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV) can cause mass mortality events in Pacific oyster aquaculture. While various factors impact on the severity of outbreaks, it is clear that genetic resistance of the host is an important determinant of mortality levels. This raises the possibility of selective breeding strategies to improve the genetic resistance of farmed oyster stocks, thereby contributing to disease control. Traditiona...
