| Abstract | We have identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) for resistance to Bonamia ostreae, a parasite responsible for the dramatic reduction in the aquaculture of this species. An F-2 family from a cross between a wild oyster and an individual from a family selected for resistance to bonamiosis was cultured with wild oysters injected with the parasite, leading to 20% cumulative mortality. Selective genotyping of 92 out of a total of 550 F-2 progeny (i.e., 46 heavily infected oysters that died and 46 parasite-free oysters that survived) was performed using 20 microsatellites and 34 amplification fragment length polymorphism primer pairs. Both a two-stage testing strategy and QTL interval mapping methods were used. The two-stage detection strategy had a high power with a low rate of false positives and identified nine and six probable markers linked to genes of resistance and susceptibility, respectively. Parent-specific genetic linkage maps were built for the family, spanning ten linkage groups (n = 10) with an observed genome coverage of 69-84%. Three QTL were identified by interval mapping in the first parental map and two in the second. Good concordance was observed between the results obtained after the two-stage testing strategy and QTL mapping. | ||||||||
