Healthy and moribund Zhikong scallops ( <i>Chlamys farreri</i> ) developed different viral communities during a mass mortality event
This study uses metagenome sequencing to establish the first scallop virome database. The study reveals previously unknown diversity of scallop-associated viruses and provides insights into links between disease status and viral diversity and genome content. The study will interest many aquatic virologists and could have important implications in managing marine resources.
