Abstract
THE examination and control of oyster (Crassostrea virginica Gmelin) pathogens have received much impetus in recent years with the recognition of Haplosporidium costale Wood and Andrews, ‘MSX’ an undescribed haplosporidian, and Dermocystidium marinum Mackin, Owen and Collier along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. Research in the problems of isolation, identification and control of oyster pathogens could bo facilitated if techniques for the culture of oyster cells were available.
