- ItemMassive prevalence of viral DNA in Ectocarpus (Phaeophyceae, Ectocarpales) from two habitats in the North Atlantic and South Pacific(2000) Müller, DG; Westermeier, R; Morales, J; Reina, GG; del Campo, E; Correa, JA; Rometsch, EEctocarpus, a cosmopolitan genus of filamentous marine brown algae, contains two species, E. siliculosus and E. fasciculatus. Both species are subject to virus infections, which either destroy the host's sporangia or persist in a latent state without visible symptoms. We used PCR amplification of a viral gene fragment to monitor the infection status of Ectocarpus samples from Gran Canaria Island, North Atlantic, and southern Chile over 26 months.
