In this study, we described the cytosolic HSP 90 of B onamia ostreae , an intracellular parasite of O strea edulis hemocytes. The complete open reading frame was assembled by Rapid Amplification cDNA Ends reactions on cDNA of B . ostreae ‐infected hemocytes. HSP 90 amplification was corroborated in infected oysters and B . ostreae purified cells. The functionality of the HSP 90, studied by inhibitory assays with radicicol, suggests that this protein may play a role in hemocyte invasion. Our results inform the molecular basis that governs B . ostreae– O . edulis interactions.
