AB  - Significant mortalities of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, have been 
      reported worldwide since the 1950s. The impact these re-occurring mortality 
      events have had on the C. gigas industry has highlighted the necessity to 
      determine the factors that may be causing these mortalities. This study 
      investigated the possible role of ostreid herpes virus (OsHV-1) in C. gigas 
      mortalities over 2 successive summers at 2 study areas in Ireland. A single 
      sample of adult C. gigas, which had been experiencing mortalities at one of the 
      sites was screened. Successive cohorts of C. gigas spat obtained from a hatchery 
      outside Ireland was relayed to both sites in 2003 and in 2004. Spat were screened 
      each year prior to relaying. Samples were collected every 2 weeks and mortality 
      counts were recorded and observed at both sites. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) 
      analysis and subsequent sequencing indicated that a previously undocumented 
      variant genotype of OsHV-1 was present in the single cohort of adult C. gigas and 
      in seed and juveniles at both sites, in both years. Analysis suggests that the 
      Irish OsHV-1 muvar variant genotype is closely related to OsHV-1 muvar, first 
      described in France in 2008.
