This resulted in extensive investigations by Dr. Kelly Bateman, Crustacean Health Theme Lead, Cefas. Following is a summary of findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The novel pathogen had not previously been identified in <em>Cancer pagarus.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>It has no effect on human health.<\/li>\n<li>Lobsters did not appear to be infected, only crabs however further work will be required to confirm this<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where the organism came from still remains a mystery. These are opportunistic pathogens and there will be a bigger story associated with them. The findings could be related to events such as climate change; invasive species; habitat change, but the origin of the pathogen isn\u2019t known. It is unlikely to be related to specific events.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time the pathogen has been observed in edible crab tissues.
