To optimize the production of young mussels and preserve fish health, the morphopathological pattern of glochidiosis was characterized during the early and late stages of glochidiosis and related to the larval development and metamorphosis of Margaritifera margaritifera, from glochidium to post-larva. The results here enclosed contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of glochidiosis that may aid to manage the parasitic stage during the culture of freshwater mussels.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Margaritifera margaritiferaSalmo salarglochidiosisgill histopathologygill healinglarval developmenthost-parasite interactionbyssal glandMaterias::Investigación::31 Ciencias agrarias::3109 Ciencias veterinarias::310907 PatologíaMaterias::Investigación::31 Ciencias agrarias::3105 Peces y fauna silvestre::310512 Ordenación y conservación de la fauna silvestreMaterias::Investigación::24 Ciencias de la vida::2401 Biología animal (zoología)::240117 Invertebradosdoctoral thesisopen access
