Crassostrea gigas translocations have originated not only from native populations in Asia but also from secondary sources like Canada, and as a result, micro- and macroparasites accumulated in secondary sources like North America could be transported to other global populations. Moreover, though our investigation focused on metazoan parasites, Crassostrea gigas translocation has also resulted in the movement of a few virulent diseases, including the haplosporidian parasite Haplosporidium nelsoni (likely introduced with spat and adult oysters from Japan and British Columbia Peeler et al., 2011) the oyster herpes virus (OsHV-1) ( Garcia et al., 2011) a recently detected fungus, Ostracoblabe implexa ( Thieltges et al., 2012) and a gram-negative bacteria, Vibrio spp. As such, there is still much to be understood regarding parasite movements as a result of intentional introductions of Crassostrea gigas. Dinamami, 1987 Mann et al, 1991 Thieltges et al., 2012), but there are numerous other populations in which the oyster has been translocated ( Ruesink et al., 2005) where parasite richness is presently unknown. Similar to Carcinus maenas, the global movement of Crassostrea gigas and associated parasites has been documented in a few populations including western Europe, the Pacific Northwest, and New Zealand (e.g. Keogh, in Advances in Marine Biology, 2013 4.7.2 Crassotrea gigas: An intentionally introduced host to numerous locations worldwideĬrassostrea gigas, the Pacific oyster, is an interesting case because it not only hosts hitchhiking parasites but also serves as an introduction vector for the movement of free-living hitchhikers ( Ruesink et al., 2005). Can a nice girl from the home steppes (with multiple options on not-so-nice) survive the dangerous company of Baiju Noyan and evade the wrath of his sworn nemesis Ertugrul Ghazi? Can she salvage the Khan's Western frontier before it becomes an epic Mongolian cluster.April M.H. Sungurtekin (the Khan's Anatolian spymaster and a native of the Kayis tribal lands where the Noyan was last sighted) privately thinks the diviners have been drinking more spirits than they've been consulting. Has the famously fierce Noyan gone native? Rogue? Insane? All of the above? According to the royal diviners, rookie intelligence agent Nerguitani ("No Name Girl") is the best candidate for the mission. Incoming reports have been increasingly sparse, inarticulate, and disturbing. Somewhere out in where-the-eff-is-Anatolia, his protégé Baiju Noyan has dropped off the map and taken his troops with him. Ogedei (son of Genghis) Khan has a problem.
