Two haplosporidians, Minchinia nelsoni and MM. costalis, are disease agents of the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica, in Delaware Bay and Chesapeake Bay. M. nelsoni is one of the most destructive of any known oyster parasite and is assumed to be the primary cause of the catastrophic oyster mortalities along the east coast of the United States during the past 15 years. M. costalis has been associated with oyster mortalities in seaside bays of Virginia and Maryland(CJ Sinderman,“Principal Diseases of Marine Fish and Shellfish.” Academic Press, New York, 1970). There have been two recent reports of finding haplosporidians in bivalve mollusks from California waters. R. Taylor(J. Invertebr. Pathol. 8, 109-121, 1966) described a new species, Haplosporidium tumefacientis, as being a disease organism of the mussel, Mytilus californianus, and S. Katkansky and R. Warren (J. Fish. Res. Bd. Can. 27, 1320-1321, 1970) described acid-fast spores in the tissues of a single Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, which they thought were those of a haplosporidian of the genus Minchinia. In neither of these reports were the haplosporidians associated with mortality, although the one C. gigas was gaping and apparently moribund. Taylor described histopathological alterations in M. edulis which were associated with the presence of H. tumefacientis.
