This viral disease was associated with massive mortalities which occurred from August 1970 to July 1971 (90% of the mortalities occurred in November 1970 in the Marennes-Oltron basin). The disease remained endemic until 1973 (on the natural beds at Verdon). These mortalities have led to  the disappearance of the Portuguese oyster from French coastal waters.
