Rickettsia-like organism associated with tremor disease and mortality of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis
Open accessAbstract
We report the discovery of a rickettsia-like organism (RLO) in cultured freshwater Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. The RLO caused tremor disease and was apparently responsible for a mass mortality (30 to 90%) in 2 provinces in southeast China. Moribund crabs were investigated from different districts during outbreaks in 1999 and 2000. With electron microscopy, 3 different pathogens were detected in moribund crabs: a rickettsia-like organism (RLO), virus-like particles (VLP) and a microsporidian-like protozoan (MLP). Based on the high prevalence, infection intensity and cytopathological signs, the RLO was considered to be the probable cause of the high mortality. Both VLP and MLP occurred at low prevalences and were considered secondary infections. The RLO was 0.22 to 0.35 microm in diameter, granular or clavate, bounded by a cell wall and membrane, and possessed no nucleus but a nucleoid was present. When dividing, RLOs occurred in irregular shapes, such as dumbbells, awls, and crescents. The RLOs exhibited a predilection for muscle and connective tissues and were probably transported to various tissues and organs by hemocytes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
