A previously-unknown virus distantly related to Covid is "strongly associated" with mass die-offs of farmed Pacific oysters in BC, researchers have found.

Sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) along the Pacific coast have been devastated by sea star wasting disease (SSWD) (1). Here, we report the draft genome of Vibrio pectenicida strain FHCF-3...

Researchers at a University of British Columbia lab have discovered a virus 'strongly associated' with mass die-offs of farmed Pacific oysters and, in a separate study, the bacteria that wiped out billions of sea stars across the West Coast

Metatranscriptomic data from a mass-mortality event of adult Pacific Oysters, Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas, the most widely cultivated shellfish g...

Pacific oysters are the most widely farmed shellfish in the world, but have recently been dying in large numbers. Curtis Suttle, a marine microbiology professor at the University of B.C., says that th...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown virus in farmed Pacific oysters during a mass die-off in B.C., Canada. The discovery serves as a reminder that growers should exercise caution when movi...

After 90% loss of global sunflower sea star population in 10 years, researchers hope decline can now be tackled
