Bibliography of Oyster Parasites
and Diseases

By

ABSTRACT

The bibliography is oriented toward the diseases that affect oysters and is not
concerned with human diseases that may be transmitted by raw shellfish. References
to parasites and diseases of pearl oysters (Pteriidae) have been included, even
though such bivalves are not true oysters (Ostreidae). References to mortalities of
oysters have been included only if a pathogen was associated or suspected. Particular
emphasis has been placed on disease states resulting from an infectious agent or
parasite invasion.

INTRODUCTION

Because of their worldwide economic im-
portance, oysters are among the most thor-
oughly studied of marine invertebrates. Dis-
ease is one aspect of oyster biology that has
received particular attention. Literature on
parasites and diseases of oysters has ac-
cumulated at a surprising and accelerating
rate. Preparation of a recent review of dis-
eases of Mollusca and Crustacea provided
an opportunity to assemble many of the pub-
lications and references on oysters diseases--
a large part of which could not be included
in a general review. Consequently, it seemed
useful to publish a bibliography concerned
specifically with oyster- diseases, in view
of the amount of material available and the
current expanding interest in the subject.

Created in 1849, the Department of the Interior — a depart-
ment of conservation — is concerned with the management,
conservation, and development of the Nation's water, fish,
wildlife, mineral, forest, and park and recreational re-
sources. It also has major responsibilities for Indian and
Territorial affairs.

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the De-
partment works to assure that nonrenewable resources are
developed and used wisely, that park and recreational re-
sources are conserved for the future, and that renewable
resources make their full contribution to the progress, pros-
perity, and security of the United States — now and in the
future.
