Abstract
A mass mortality of clam, Meretrix meretrix, occurred in Jiangsu Province of China in the late September of 2007. Of the isolates obtained from the diseased clams, MM21 had the strongest virulence to the clam in the virulence test, with a LD50 value of approximately 6 x 10(6)CFU ml(-1). MM21 was identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus by the VITEK 2 Compact system and 16S rDNA sequencing. Detection of virulence-associated genes by PCR indicated that MM21 was positive for toxR and tlh, and negative for tdh. Compared with control group, histiocytes from MM21-infected clams displayed a variety of cytopathological changes by transmission electron microscopy examination, which included increased lipid droplets in hepatocytes, deposition of granules in the mantle, excessive secretion in the gill. The results of our study suggested that MM21 may have been an etiological element in the mass mortalities of hard clam (M. meretrix) in Jiangsu Province of China in 2007.
