Case study of vertical transmission of ostreid herpesvirus‐1 in Pacific oysters and biosecurity management based on epidemiological data from French, New Zealand and Australian hatchery‐propagated seed
2021
In recent decades, mortality caused by ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1)
and a variant (OsHV-1
μvar) has severely impacted the production
of Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, chronologically in France, New
Zealand (NZ) and Australia (Jenkins et al., 2013; Keeling et al., 2014;
Segarra et al., 2010). This study was conceived based on observations
made in several commercial hatcheries and research institutes
in these countries where vertical transmission of OsHV-1
μvar has
been absent or extremely rare. We have collated data from the production
of Pacific oysters across these countries to assess the risk
associated with breeding oysters from broodstock grown in OsHV-1
μvar-infected
waters. The aim is to provide a reference point for
regulatory authorities to use when developing or updating biosecurity
management policy associated with the hatchery production of
Pacific oysters.
