Herpes-like virus infecting Japanese oyster (Crassostrea gigas) spat

During the summer of 1993, abnormal sporadic mass mortalities (80-90%) and morbidities occurred among four batches of young Japanese oyster (Crassostrea gigas) spat from the French Atlantic coast. These mortalities were only observed in July. Samples of affected animaIs were examined by electron microscopy. This paper reports the presence and appearance of herpes viruses in these samples.
