The bacterium destroys a digestive gland within the mussels, leading to their death. Digestive glands pour out gastric (stomach) juices of enzymes and hydrochloric acid to begin protein digestion. Histologic lesions in digestive gland (tubular dilation or atrophy, macrophage aggregates, tubular cell necrosis, and tissue inflammation) and gonads (macrophage aggregates, supporting cell, germ cell, and ovarian cell necroses) were frequently detected in clams exposed to the most contaminated sediments from the harbor. |
