Table 1.
Search strings for protozoan parasites and bivalve groups.
Figure 1.
Number of papers in the literature (SCOPUS Database) reporting in the genera Perkinsus, Haplosporidium, Marteilia, and Bonamia; column in orange correspond to 1993, the year when the methodologies for culturing Perkinsus were published (A). Cumulative papers over the same period of time (B). Percent of the literature reporting each particular protozoan parasite (C).
Figure 2.
Number of papers in the literature (SCOPUS Database) reporting in the genera Perkinsus, Haplosporidium, Marteilia, and Bonamia distributed into each of the six categories; papers that did not fall into those categories were assigned to the undetermined category.
Figure 3.
Distribution by continent of published papers in the literature reporting in the genera Perkinsus, Haplosporidium, Marteilia, and Bonamia (A). Countries where Perkinsus spp. have been reported by 2013 (B).
Figure 4.
Percent of the literature (SCOPUS Database) in mollusc bivalves reporting disease by the protozoan parasites of the genera Perkinsus, Haplosporidium, Marteilia, and Bonamia.
Figure 5.
Number of papers published every year (1960–2013) and cumulative papers (inset figures) in the literature (SCOPUS Database) using Plasmodium and Cryptosporidium as search strings.
Columns in red correspond to the years when the genomes were published.
