Report of pathogens and parasites in Perumytilus purpuratus from San Jorge Bay, Antofagasta, Chile
Perumytilus purpuratus is a mussel commonly found on the entire Chilean coastline. The knowledge of pathogens and parasites of this mollusc, as well as for many other species, inhabiting the Chilean coast remains largely unknown. This study aims to survey parasites and pathogens in P. purpuratus fro...
