Contagious Cancers That Can Spread Between Ocean Organisms
View through CrossRef
Cancer is a disease that occurs when cells multiply uncontrollably. It can affect species on land or in water. Normally, cancer is not contagious; it only affects the organism in which it originates. However, recently, a new type of contagious cancer was found in some ocean animals. Contagious cancers have been discovered in clams, cockles, and mussels around the world. These cancer cells leave the body of the organism where they originated, survive in seawater, and then infect other individuals. In this article, we will tell you what makes contagious cancers different from normal cancers, the species in which contagious cancers have been detected, and the great importance of studying these rare cancers.
