The impact of pathogens on exploited populations of decapod crustaceansJeffrey D Shields
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA
J Invertebr Pathol 110:211-24. 2012..Outbreaks in cultured stocks are not covered. Disease epizootics have occurred in fished populations of crayfish and shrimp but they are less well known than the issues arising from extensive aquaculture of these species...
The effect of salinity on experimental infections of a Hematodinium sp. in blue crabs, Callinectes sapidusAnna H Coffey
Department of Environmental and Aquatic Animal Health, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary School of Marine Science, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
J Parasitol 98:536-42. 2012..can develop in blue crabs at low salinities, but that the parasite is incapable of transmission in this environment, which explains the lack of natural infections in crabs at low salinities...
The role of alternate hosts in the ecology and life history of Hematodinium sp., a parasitic dinoflagellate of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus)Katrina M Pagenkopp Lohan
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
J Parasitol 98:73-84. 2012..Additionally, evidence indicates that it may be capable of infecting crustaceans within the Order Amphipoda...
Diseases of spiny lobsters: a reviewJ D Shields
Department of Environmental and Aquatic Animal Health, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA
J Invertebr Pathol 106:79-91. 2011..No doubt others will emerge as lobsters are brought into aquaculture setting and as fishing pressure intensifies with stocks become more susceptible to anthropogenic stressors...
Epidemiological determinants in outbreaks of bitter crab disease (Hematodinium sp.) in snow crabs Chionoecetes opilio from Conception Bay, Newfoundland, CanadaJeffrey D Shields
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
Dis Aquat Organ 77:61-72. 2007....
Oculophryxus bicaulis, a new genus and species of dajid isopod parasitic on the euphausiid Stylocheiron affine HansenJ D Shields
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA
Int J Parasitol 26:261-8. 1996..Of the 3 eco-phenotypes of S. affine that are found in the region, the isopod apparently prefers the California Current morph. However, in the Gulf of Mexico, a similar parasite was found on S. longicorne Sars...
Epidemiology of bitter crab disease (Hematodinium sp.) in snow crabs Chionoecetes opilio from Newfoundland, CanadaJeffrey D Shields
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
Dis Aquat Organ 64:253-64. 2005....
A new pathogenic virus in the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus from the Florida KeysJeffrey D Shields
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
Dis Aquat Organ 59:109-18. 2004..The new virus is apparently widespread, infectious, and lethal to the Caribbean spiny lobster. Given the pathogenic nature of the virus, further characterization of the disease agent is warranted...
Skin ulcers in estuarine fishes: a comparative pathological evaluation of wild and laboratory-exposed fishW K Vogelbein
Department of Environmental Sciences, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point 23062, USA
Environ Health Perspect 109:687-93. 2001....
Differences in enzyme activities between two species of Hematodinium, parasitic dinoflagellates of crustaceansH J Small
Division of Environmental and Evolutionary Biology, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, Scotland, UK
J Invertebr Pathol 94:175-83. 2007..In addition to providing information on the cellular metabolism of the parasite, the pattern of activities of these enzymes may also be useful in distinguishing among different species of Hematodinium...
Conservation in the first internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1) in Hematodinium species infecting crustacean hosts found in the UK and NewfoundlandH J Small
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA
Dis Aquat Organ 75:251-8. 2007..opilio isolates was sufficiently conserved in primer binding regions targeted by previous molecular diagnostic assays; therefore, we suggest that this assay could be used to screen for Hematodinium infections in these crustacean hosts...
Infection experiments with Aphanomyces invadans in four species of estuarine fishR A Johnson
Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA
J Fish Dis 27:287-95. 2004..These experiments show that species barriers as well as ecological barriers can explain some of the factors involved in the development of lesions in, and specificity of the water mould for, menhaden...
