Many studies have addressed the production decline of Manila clam,Ruditapes philippinarum, in Japan, but infection of clams withPerkinsus olsenihas received scarce attention. To evaluate the impact ofP. olseni, infection levels and host density of a wild, unexploited clam population were monitored monthly or bimonthly on a tidal flat from June 2009 to January 2013. Real-time PCR analysis discriminatingP. olseniandPerkinsus honshuensisdetected onlyP. olseniin tested clams. The prevalence ofP. olseniwas 100% or nearly 100% in 7 cohorts throughout the study period, except in newly recruited clams. Infection intensity remained low and seldom reached 106cells/g wet tissue in newly recruited clams until the month of September. Infection intensity reached 106cells/g in autumn and remained high at 104–106cells/g until each cohort of clams disappeared. Clam density began to decrease in the autumn when the infection intensities reached ca. 106cells/g. Density was relatively stable in winter, increased in spring and decreased again in clams aged 1 year or older during summer and autumn in the following years. Survival of clams experimentally infected withP. olseniat ca. 106cells/g and placed in a cage in the tidal flat for 1 or 2 months was significantly lower than survival of uninfected control clams. Our results suggested that heavy infection withP. olseniwas a major cause of the clam density decrease, although other environmental and biological factors also may have contributed to the decline in density. In addition, uninfected clams were deployed in cages for 1–2 months from June 2010 to January 2013 and prevalence and infection intensity were monitored. Parasite transmission and infection progression increased in summer and autumn.
