Lack of evidence for HEV infection in Baltic sea mussels (Mytilidae). [PDF]
BMC Infect DisAbstract Background and aims Hepatitis E virus (HEV), similar to hepatitis A virus (HAV), has been linked to cases associated with mussel consumption, and several studies have detected HEV in commercially available mussels.

Molecular Diversity of Mytilin-Like Defense Peptides in Mytilidae (Mollusca, Bivalvia) [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2020 The CS-αβ architecture is a structural scaffold shared by a high number of small, cationic, cysteine-rich defense peptides, found in nearly all the major branches of the tree of life. Although several CS-αβ peptides involved in innate immune response have been described so far in bivalve mollusks, a clear-cut definition of their molecular diversity is ...

Mitochondrial genomic analyses provide new insights into the "missing" atp8 and adaptive evolution of Mytilidae. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Mytilidae, also known as marine mussels, are widely distributed in the oceans worldwide. Members of Mytilidae show a tremendous range of ecological adaptions, from the species distributed in freshwater to those that inhabit in deep-sea ...

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2021 Seafood contamination with microplastics is one major route for human intake. Shellfish are among the most important since most shellfish species are eaten fresh and entirely. The aim of the present study was to report the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercial bivalve Aulacomya atra sold in fisheries from three Peruvian provinces.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a fouling mussel, Xenostrobus atratus (Mollusca: Mytilidae), and its phylogenetic implication. [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2023 In this study, we report the female-lineage mitochondrial genome of Xenostrobus atratus for the first time. The circular mitochondrial genome is 14,806 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes.

Predators of the Invasive Mussel Musculista senhousia (Mollusca: Mytilidae) [PDF]
Pacific Science, 2002 Musculista senhousia (Benson in Cantor, 1842) is a soft sediment-dwelling mussel that has spread anthropogenically from its native Asia to North America, Australasia, and Europe.

Should I stay, or should I go: Anthropogenic noises disrupt early recruitment of subarctic invertebrates. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Coastal subarctic systems are inhabited by bivalve and gastropods, which due to their lifecycle and longevity are reliable indicators of ecological alterations in the environment. Recent laboratory studies have shown that young life stages of invertebrates perceive natural sounds, and their settlement, behavior, and fitness could be altered by

Evidence of multiple genome duplication events in Mytilus evolution. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Molluscs remain one significantly under-represented taxa amongst available genomic resources, despite being the second-largest animal phylum and the recent advances in genomes sequencing technologies and genome assembly techniques.

The Complete Genome Sequences of 2 Species of Geukensia (Brachidontinae, Mytilidae). [PDF]
Biodivers Genomes, 2023 We present the complete genome sequences of Geukensia demissa and Geukensia granosissima. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from museum specimens. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are available via Genbank.
