Istraživanje marteilioze dagnji, Mytilus galloprovincialis, na uzgajalištima školjaka u Istri

Marteiliosis, is a disease molluscs caused by Marteilia refringens in Europe and M. sydneyi in Australia. During routine examination of cultured mussels, Mytilus galloprovinciallis, in northern Adriatic, occurenceof Marteilia sp. was recorded with a prevalence of five percent. This parasite was not detected in flat oysters reared the same area. The affiliation of the detected parasite in M. galloprovinciallis was confirmed by in situ hybridization using a M. refringens probe. DNA of these infected mussels originating from the same area will be used to clarify the taxonomic position of this species within the genus Marteilia by a molecular approach.
