“…In the terminal stages of the disease, exhausted oysters are no longer capable of closing their shell (His et al 1976). Marteiliosis affects oysters during the summer period, which in Europe begins in May, peaks from June to August, and decreases in December (Grizel 1985;Audemard et al 2001), while in Australia it begins in January with infection peaking in February and mortalities occurring through to April or May (Adlard, pers. obs., Peters and Raftos 2003).…”

“…Sporangia primordia correspond to a chronic infection all year long (Balouet 1979), while mature stages correspond to seasonal stages probably responsible for the spread of the disease. Apparently the seasonal cycle of Marteilia refringens is partially ruled by temperature (Grizel and Tigé 1977;Balouet et al 1979;Berthe et al 1998;Audemard et al 2001).…”

“…The problem of species diversity was circumvented by choosing particular oyster ponds, named claires, in the Marennes-Oléron Bay (Berthe et al 1998;Audemard et al 2001). Environmental characteristics of claires strongly limit the number of inhabiting species as compared with intertidal areas and oyster beds.…”

“…Environmental characteristics of claires strongly limit the number of inhabiting species as compared with intertidal areas and oyster beds. As a result of this, claires host less than 100 recognisable species (Reymond 1991;Audemard et al 2001), versus more than 1000 on open shores in the same region (de Montaudouin and Sauriau 2000).…”

“…Recent data obtained on the biology of M. refringens may also lead to new developments in management strategies based on a better understanding of life-cycle of the parasite (Berthe et al 1998;Audemard et al 2001Audemard et al , 2002. By planting and harvesting oysters outside the time period when they are most likely to become infected with M. refringens, the risk of marteiliosis can be significantly reduced.…”

-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.
