Survival and detection of bivalve transmissible neoplasia from the soft-shell clam Mya arenaria (MarBTN) in seawater

R. M. Giersch, S. F. Hart, S. G. Reddy, M. A. Yonemitsu, M. J. Orellana Rosales, M. Korn, B. M. Geleta, P. D. Countway, J. A. Fernandez Robledo, M. J. Metzger

This study tests whether bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN) cells can survive in seawater and be released into the environment, supporting a waterborne transmission mechanism.
