Ostreavirus is a genus of viruses in the order Herpesvirales, and one of only two genera in the family Malacoherpesviridae. Molluscs serve as natural hosts. There is only one species described in this genus, Ostreavirus ostreidmalaco1, also called Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) and commonly known as oyster herpesvirus. A disease associated with this genus is sporadic episodes of high mortality among larvae and juveniles.[1][2][3]
Acute viral necrosis virus, which affects scallops such as Chlamys farreri, appears to be a variant of Oyster herpesvirus.[4]
Oyster herpesvirus was subsequently detected in the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris).[5]
