Ecological Impact		Parasite/Predator Vector
Crassostrea virginica, stocked in Pearl Harbor, apparently carried the protistan parasite Perkinsus marinus, which caused 'Dermo' disease and massive mortalities in Eastern Oysters in the harbor in 1972. However, there are no reports of this parasite affecting other invertebrates at that time (Kern et al. 1973; Carlton and Eldredge 2009).
