TI  - Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) detection among three successive generations of 
      Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas).
PG  - 47-56
AB  - Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) was likely detected in Pacific oysters, 
      Crassostrea gigas, at different stages of development. Viral infections were 
      associated with high mortality rates in the spat and larvae. Furthermore, the 
      persistance of OsHV-1 in asymptomatic adults was demonstrated by detection of 
      viral DNA and proteins. In the present study, three successive generations of C. 
      gigas (G0 and G1 parental oysters, G1 and G2 larvae) were screened for OsHV-1 by 
      PCR. Viral DNA was detected in 2-day-old larvae, indicating that infection may 
      take place at very early stages. Although results strengthen the hypothesis of a 
      vertical transmission, it was not possible to predict the issue of a particular 
      type of cross. Indeed, the detection of viral DNA in parental oysters did not 
      systematically correspond to a productive infection or result in a successful 
      transmission to the progeny. However, the infective status of the parents 
      appeared to have an influence on both the infection and the survival rates of the 
      progeny. Crosses involving an OsHV-1 infected male and a non-infected female 
      resulted in hatching and larval survival rates statistically lower than those 
      observed in the other types of cross. These results suggest that OsHV-1-infected 
      females may transmit to their offspring some kind of protection or resistance 
      against viral infection.
