Dual disease resistance in a selectively bred eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, strain tested in Chesapeake Bay

2003-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Selective breeding efforts have yielded oyster strains, Crassostrea virginica, with improved survival and resistance against Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX); however, because of susceptibility to the oyster pathogen Perkinsus marinus (Dermo), their utility has been limited in areas where the two parasites co-occur. Dual resistance to H. nelsoni and P. marinus was achieved through four generations of artificial select...
