An investigation into the detection and identification of OsHV-1 µvar virus and associated risk factors causing mortalities in Crassostrea gigas in Ireland.
The Oyster Herpes Virus micro variant, OsHV-1μvar, is an emerging disease affecting Crassostrea gigas oysters which has caused significant mortalities in France, Ireland, and the UK (Jersey and Kent, England) between the summer of 2008 and 2012.The present MSc. study was carried out in 2 parts.
