Dermo Time-Series

Caption

The sharp transition from the original form of Dermo (light blue) to contemporary (dark blue) in Chesapeake Bay (A), South Carolina (B), and New Jersey (C). Weighted prevalence in the Virginia panel is a conventional measure of Dermo disease in oyster populations, and shows that the change in Dermo's form in Virginia coincided with the increase in Dermo prevalence within Bay oysters.
