Histological display of the digestive gland of two different P. nobilis specimens. (A) Digestive gland of fan mussel infected with Mycobacterium sp., H. pinnae, and V. splendidus. (B) Digestive gland of fan mussel infected only with Mycobacterium sp. and V. splendidus. Both exhibit heavy inflammation responses and heavy lesions in the connective tissue of the digestive gland. A degenerative process was also indicated in the epithelium of the digestive tubules of both specimens, regardless of the presence of H. pinnae.
