Abstract
This study describes the histopathology and the associated gross pathological alterations of experimentally induced acute inflammation in the oyster, Crassostrea gigas, after turpentine injections into two different tissues, the adductor muscle and the Leydig cell area. Under optimum conditions the oyster can successfully combat a toxic substance such as turpentine, with the adductor muscle being more capable of handling such an irritant than the Leydig cell area. Inflammation in vertebrates is compared with that in the oyster.
