“…Also, protists incertae sedis were recorded in C. gigas in USA (Becker and Pauley 1968) that could be interpreted as M. chungmuensis (see Hine 1996). Similarly, a protistan parasite in the ova of the blacklipped oyster, Saccostrea echinata (see Wolf 1977) could possibly be M. chungmuensis which has been recorded since then in Australia (Hine 1996). More recently, occurrence of a Marteilioides-like organism in Japanese carpet shell, Tapes philippinarum, in southern coast of Korea was also reported (Lee et al 2001).…”

-Among mollusc pathogens, paramyxeans are an important group of protistan parasites belonging to the genera Marteilia and Marteilioides. Marteilia refringens and M. sydneyi are of particular concern given their potential impact on mollusc aquaculture world-wide. Aber disease and QX disease are currently listed by the OIE, the World Organisation for Animal Health. After more than thirty years of existence in the scientific literature, these organisms still pose questions and research challenges to investigators. This paper reviews current knowledge of the group and key references. The review was focused on taxonomy, epidemiology, pathology and potential control methods for these organisms in order to enhance understanding of paramyxean infection issues in mollusc aquaculture.Key words: Taxonomy / Epidemiology / Pathology / Diagnosis / Paramyxean parasites Résumé -Marteiliose des mollusques : une synthèse. Au nombre des agents pathogènes des mollusques, les paramyxéens, notamment les agents appartenant aux genres Marteilia et Marteilioides, sont des protistes parasites des plus importants. Marteilia refringens et M. sydneyi constituent un souci majeur compte tenu de leur impact potentiel sur la conchyliculture dans le monde. La maladie des Abers et la maladie du Queensland (QX) sont actuellement répertoriées par l'Office International des Epizooties. Après plus de trente années d'existence dans la littérature scientifique, ces organismes posent encore questions et défis aux investigateurs. Cet article fait l'état des connaissances sur le sujet en s'attachant plus particulièrement à la taxonomie, l'épidémiologie, la pathologie et les méthodes potentielles de contrôle de ces organismes dans l'optique d'une meilleure compréhension de la problématique des paramyxéens en conchyliculture.

“…Protozoan parasites in the phylum Paramyxea have been extensively studied in areas in which oysters and mussels are commercially raised (Becker & Pauley 1968, Wolf 1977, Figueras & Montes 1988, Villalba et al 1993, Fuentes et al 1995, Renault et al 1995, Camacho et al 1997, Berthe et al 2000, Hine & Thorne 2000. The presence of the ovarian parasite Marteilioides chungmuensis (Comps et al 1986) has been reported from oyster culture grounds in Korea (Chun 1970(Chun , 1972(Chun , 1979 and in Japan (Imai et al 1968, Matsusato & Masumura 1981.…”

“…(Sprague et al 1972) because it appears as a 'cyst' containing many small spore-like unicells inside bivalve mollusc ova. Other protozoan parasites are known to infect bivalve ova (see Wolf 1977, Comps et al 1986) but these bear no resemblance to the parasite reported here. Becker & Pauley (1968) reported an unidentified protistan in ova of Crassostrea gigas from Humboldt Bay, California, USA.…”

A low intensity Steinhausia-like infection was observed in h~stological sections of the gonads of 7 out of 10 female Sydney rock oysters Saccostrea comn~erc~alis obtained from a farm in Queensland. Australia. Parasitophorous vacuoles occurred within the nucleus and cytoplasm of ovocytes and contained up to 18 unicells (in cross section). Infection caused an Intense hemocyte infiltration. The parasite may cause problems In S. commercialis culture at hlgher infection intenslties.
