“…In the population examined by histology and PCR, the estimated prevalence by PCR (11.6%) is closer to the histology initial rapid screening examination prevalence (7.3%) than the more detailed histological examination result (20%), suggesting that PCR may give false negative results when few organisms are present. However, our pri- (Hervio et al 1996, Bower et al 1997.In addition, the fact that we found significant infections in Kumamoto oysters but no infections in the known susceptible and closely related Pacific oysters in Humboldt Bay suggests that Kumamoto oysters may be more susceptible to infection by Mikrocytos mackini than Pacific oysters. A low digestive gland condition of the Kumamoto oysters sampled in winter from the west coast of North America is a typical finding, as was shown in the evaluation of the initial positive sample from this report.…”

“…Second, that M. mackini has not been reported in Asia does not necessarily imply its absence. Detection is very difficult, as explained earlier for Mikrocytos in general, and the temperature dependence of M. mackini infections (Hervio et al 1996, Bower et al 1997) means that it could persist at sub-clinical levels in regions with warmer water temperatures than those found in its known range. Last, the recent first report of Mikrocytos sp.…”

“…Mortality rates in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas typically range up to about 30% (Quayle 1982), and non-lethal cases of the disease render oysters unmarketable . Long term annual survey data collected from Denman Island, British Columbia, Canada between 1960 and1994 found that the prevalence of disease (characterized by typical green lesions) among Pacific oysters varied from 11 to 48% (Hervio et al 1996). The known geographic range of M. mackini is restricted to British Columbia (BC) and adjacent areas in Washington State, USA, on the Pacific northwest coast of North America .…”
