Screening of Vibrio isolates to develop an experimental infection model in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
In an attempt to develop a reproducible experimental model of bacterial infection in Crassostrea gigas, oysters taken from very localised sub-populations suffering natural mortality outbreaks were used in cohabitation trials under laboratory conditions. From these trials, a collection of Vibrio stra...
