Perkinsosis is a disease of gastropod and bivalve molluscs caused by protozoan parasites of the Perkinsus genus. These parasites have been responsible for mass mortalities worldwide, with a significant impact in both fisheries and aquaculture, and resulting in severe economic losses. This review focuses mainly on current knowledge of diagnostic methods and on the distribution of Perkinsus spp. in the Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, which infect the grooved carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus and the Japanese carpet shell clam Ruditapes philippinarum. The association between perkinsosis and high mortality rates of R. decussatus and R. philippinarum in southern European countries such as Portugal and Italy is discussed as is the role of environmental factors in those mortality outbreaks. The putative introduction of Perkinsus olseni into the Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea is also discussed, as are management strategies that could be used to mitigate the impact of perkinsosis in production of R. decussatus and R. philippinarum.
派金虫病是一种由派金虫属原生动物寄生虫引起的腹足纲和双壳纲软体动物疾病。这些寄生虫在全球范围内导致了大量死亡，对渔业和水产养殖业都产生了重大影响，造成了严重的经济损失。本综述主要关注诊断方法的现有知识以及派金虫属物种在东北大西洋和地中海的分布情况，这些地区的派金虫感染了波纹巴非蛤和菲律宾蛤仔。文中讨论了派金虫病与葡萄牙和意大利等南欧国家波纹巴非蛤和菲律宾蛤仔高死亡率之间的关联，以及环境因素在这些死亡事件中的作用。还讨论了奥尔森派金虫可能被引入东北大西洋和地中海的情况，以及可用于减轻派金虫病对波纹巴非蛤和菲律宾蛤仔生产影响的管理策略。
