Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Thau lagoon (Mediterranean coast of France) were regularly sam pIed to determine the prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections. Microscopi­ caUy, hepatopancreatic tubules of the mussel appeared infected by a rickettsia-like organism (RLO). Each RLO were surrounded by 2 unit membranes, and colonies composed of several bacteria were enclosed within a vacuolar membrane of the host cell. ln addition, examination by transmission elec­ tron microscopy revealed that the RLO was infected by phage particles . Histological investigations of the turbeUarian Urastoma cyprinae parasitizing the mussels have shown that this ectoparasite was also infected by 2 types of procaryotes, a chlamydia-like organism (CLO) and a mollicute-like organism (MLO). The CLO displayed characteristic developmental stages of the Chlamydia les and was secon­ darily infected by ele ctron-dense particles presumed to be phage particles . The MLO exhibited sorne morphological characteristics of the mollicutes, in that the microorganisms were bounded by a single membrane sharing a trilaminar structure. Neither of these microorganisms have previously been reported in Platyhelminthes.
