Bacterial disease in marine bivalves, a review of recent studies: Trends and evolution (2004, background): “…R. philippinarum is a bacterial disease, caused by a vibrio, V. tapetis, which perturbs the calcification process and provoks a characteristic symptom, a brown deposit on the inner surface of the valves (Plate 5) (Paillard and Maes 1990; Paillard et al. 1994; Borrego et al. 1996b, Paillard 2004b).”
Hemocytes of the carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) and the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum): Current knowledge and future prospects (2009, background): “Brown ring disease (BRD), macroscopically characterized by brown conchiolin deposits in the inner surface of the shell, mostly spreads in the northern part of the European Atlantic coast and has been rarely detected below the Loire River and in the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas (Paillard, 2004).”
Development of a generic decision-support tool for identifying potentially invasive aquatic taxa: AS-ISK (2016, background): “…Manila clam culture was drastically affected by several diseases (Goulletquer 1997; Goulletquer and Héral, 1997; Arzul et al. 2012), including massive mortalities due to the brown ring disease (BRD: Vibrio tapetis) (de Montaudouin et al. 2016, Paillard 2004) and by the species’ natural dispersal.”
