ABSTRACT Quahog parasite unknown (QPX) is a protistan parasite that causes significant mortalities among hard clams, Mercenaria mercenaria, in the northeastern United States and Canada. This pathogen has been successfully isolated from clams from different geographic locations, and in vitro cultures are being used in investigations of the parasite's genetic makeup, virulence and environmental tolerances. Many of these investigations require an easily reproducible, quantitative meth...
