Hemocyte and survival data of blue mussel Mytilus edulis infected by Mytilicola intestinalis

Blue mussel Mytilus edulis were infected by Mytilicola intestinalis in a full factorial experimental design combining the following treatments: Mytilicola infection treatment (M_infect: infected with Mytilicola, M_control: not infected with Mytilicola) Vibrio infection treatment (V_bath: bathing challenge, V_inject: injection challenge, V_control: no vibrio infection) Temperature treatment (values 17: ambient, 21: elevated) Response variables were: composition of hemolymph cell types (granulocytes, hyalinocytes, blast-like cells) phagocytosis activity of each cell type Vibrio load in the hemolymph measured as colony forming units on TCBS agar in 5 µl of hemolmyph after 24h of growth at room temperature.
