[True plasmodial forms exist in Bonamia ostreae, a pathogen of the european flat oyster Ostrea edulis].
Research on the cycle of B. ostreae, a parasite which is responsible for the flat Oyster epizooty in Brittany (France), has allowed us to describe true plasmodial parasitic forms. This result confirms the appartenance of B. ostreae to the Haplosporidian group and definitely discards it from Marteilia.
