Transmission of Ostreid herpesvirus-1 in Crassostrea gigas by cohabitation: effects of food and number of infected donor oysters

Ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1) causes severe mortalities in commercially produced Crassostrea gigas, with oysters <1 yr of age being the most susceptible. It presents a significant threat to C. gigas aquaculture worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms behind the complex interactions of the pathog...
