| Rickettsia-like microorganisms were described in gill endothelial cells during mass mortalities of Saint-Jacques scallops Pecten maximus in Saint-Brieuc Bay (North Brittany, France) during winter 1985-86. In order to evaluate the epizootiological significance of rickettsiosis of scallops, an analytical and descriptive epizootiological study was undertaken. The study included the geographic distribution, incidence and severity of the disease for several northern European and French scallop populations. Since the center of French scallop production is in Saint-Brieuc Bay, epizootiological investigations were concentrated in this area. Dissemination appeared to be by horizontal transmission. The pathogenic significance of the rickettsia-like organism in... |

| Acid phosphatase activity was cytochemically detected at the ultrastructural level in the protozoan Bonamia ostreae, an intrahemocytic parasite of the flat oyster Ostrea edulis. Lead nitrate was used as capture agent for phosphate liberated during the hydrolysis of the substrate (cytidine 5' monophosphate). Lead phosphate precipitation, indicative of enzyme activity, was located in membrane-bound organelles corresponding to the cytoplasmic inclusions known as 'dense bodies'. Acid phosphatase activity level and sodium L-tartrate inhibition were measured spectrophotometrically from a purified parasite suspension. The possible involvement of this enzyme in intracellular survival of B. ostreae is discussed. |
