Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: development of a laboratory model for infectious challenge of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) with ostreid herpesvirus type-1

The microvariant of Ostreid herpesvirus type-I (OsHV-1 µVar) was first recognised in France in 2008 as the cause of high mortality disease outbreaks in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas).
