Overview
Top of page
Marteilia refringens is a paramyxean parasite infecting the digestive system of several bivalve species, including European flat oysters (Ostrea edulis ) and Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis ). The parasite induces physiological disorders and often death of the animal and is responsible for significant losses in the European shellfish industry (Berthe et al., 2004 ; Balseiro et al., 2007 ).
This disease is on the list of diseases notifiable to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). For further information on this disease from OIE, see the website: www.oie.int
