Future oysters CRC-P: Advanced understanding of POMS to guide farm management decisions in Tasmania

The objectives of our research have been to determine the high-risk periods for POMS infection and to develop a predictive framework so that the farmers can forecast danger periods for POMS. This includes developing a better understanding of where the virus exists in the environment and the factors...

Improving early detection surveillance and emergency disease response to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) using a hydrodynamic model for dispersion of OsHV-1

Rapid predictive capability of viral spread through water during an aquatic disease outbreak is an epidemiologist’s dream, and up until now has not been achievable. A biophysical particle tracking model for Ostreid herpesvirus 1 microvariant (OsHV-1) that causes POMS was developed to determine...
