Scientists Seek to Study eDNA to Identify How MSX Creeps Up on Oysters
Scientists are pursuing a new line of research to predict the times and locations of parasitic outbreaks that are wiping out oysters off the Atlantic coast.
It’s all part of the latest efforts to examine multinucleate sphere unknown, a parasite commonly referred to as MSX.
The new research would examine the genetic material, or environmental DNA, left behind by the parasite and any other intermediate hosts. Scientists believe this can help them understand more about how MSX behaves in the water and where it...
