Metagenomic analysis of Akoya pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) hemolymph for survey of the causative agent of Akoya oyster disease
Mass mortalities caused by Akoya oyster disease (AOD) have been occurring in the cultured Japanese pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) since 1994. Although several causes of AOD have been proposed, the causative agent has not yet been identified. In this project, shotgun metagenomic analysis was performed to survey the causative agent of AOD.
