Talk about sucking the life out of a good myth.
Scientists last month confirmed that oysters, long rumored to be aquatic aphrodisiacs, are contracting herpes, and the disease is killing them in great numbers, National Geographic now reports.
Deadly and incurable, the virus has been ravaging oyster communities near the coast of the U.K., killing off the Pacific variety of the shellfish.
While not contagious to humans and apparently only able to infect the Pacific strain of oysters, the disease now threatens the Pacific oyster industry off the English coast, Treehugger adds.
The cause, according to the National Geographic, could actually be related to global warming. The herpes strain infecting the oysters is only active in waters above a certain temperature, and remains dormant otherwise. As global water temperatures rise, new breeding grounds for the herpes virus appear.
Herpes in mollusks has been known about for years. The recent strain, first detected in France in 2008, is more virulent and deadly because it attacks young oysters in their breeding phase, when they have reduced immune defenses.
The news from England is coupled with headlines from the Grice Marine Laboratory at the College of Charleston, South Carolina, which released a study saying that ocean acidification lowers marine species' immune defenses in general.
As reported by ScienceDaily, a new study reveals that animals in low-oxygen, high-carbon dioxide marine environments simply can’t fight off disease as well as those living in oxygen-rich environments.
The study found that fish, oysters, crabs and shrimp all showed a decreased ability to fend off pathogens in oxygen-deficient and acidic waters.
Meanwhile, back in the half shell, oyster farmers in the Gulf of Mexico are now fighting to get buyers for their products. Fears persist that seafood from the region is contaminated after the massive oil spill there.
President Barack Obama leant a hand to the effort this week by serving Gulf seafood at his birthday party Sunday, the AFP reports.
The seafood, caught in a gyre of spewing crude and the chemical dispersants used to break it up, have been the focus of food safety testing for weeks. The food appears to be safe, but the public relations battle to get people to believe it is ongoing.

Meh, scallops are much better for sexings - if you get them when the twntacles re out they even look like a gee when you squint - taste is pretty spot on too.

It would be fairly shellfish not to tell the oyster you have an STD before lobbing one into it.

I agree WindSock - unfortunately some people think it's better to clam up before slipping in the love mussel.
