Barber, Carnegie and Dan Distel of the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Molecular Biology are also developing a molecular diagnostic test for the parasite
Bonamia ostreae which kills the gourmet European oyster.
A review of the risk posed to Scottish mollusk aquaculture from
Bonamia, Marteilia and oyster herpesvirus.
Bonamia ostreae in the native oyster Ostrea edulis: a review.
Five genera are reported for the Chapada Diamantina region:
Bonamia DuPetit-Thouars, Cuscuta Dodder, Evolvulus Linnaeus, Jacquemontia (Harley 1986), and from the Mucuge region the species Jacquemontia montana (Moric.) Meisn.
In Florida, densities of the endemic vine
Bonamia grandifloria were greater in a burned scrub site compared to adjacent unburned habitat (Hartnett and Richardson, 1989), and mortality of the rare herb Eryngium cuneifolium was positively associated with time-since-fire (Menges and Kimmich, 1996; Menges and Quintana-Ascencio, 2004).
MOVEMENT controls have been imposed on oysters from Lough Swilly, Donegal, Ireland, after laboratories confirmed the presence of
Bonamia ostreae in local beds.
Low actin stability was also found in Ostrea edulis infected by
Bonamia ostreae (Morga et al.
Movements of oysters in the areas have been blocked to prevent the spread of the dreaded
bonamia ostreae.
Neither burn site occurred within the highly discrete range of
Bonamia grandiflora.
ABSTRACT A 2007 study of Suminoe (Crassostrea ariakensis) and eastern (Crassostrea virginica) oysters exposed to Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida waters revealed the presence of
Bonamia spp.
