Accurate detection and quantification of Perkinsus infections, even at low infection intensities, are crucial for monitoring clam population health and assessing risks associated with emerging diseases. In this study, we compared molecular methodologies based on duplex real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) in order to develop effective host resource management strategies. We first evaluated detection capabilities and the impact of potential inhibitors using both methodologies across varying DNA concentrations. Subsequently, we applied these methods to two contrasting French environments: Noirmoutier, characterized by low prevalence and infection intensity, and Arcachon Bay, which exhibits high prevalence and infection intensity. Our results demonstrate that dPCR should be prioritized for detecting and quantifying parasites at low infection intensities (10<sup>1</sup>-10<sup>2</sup> cp.µL<sup>-1</sup>), as it might minimize false-negative results compared to qPCR. Notably, dPCR provided new insights and revealed cryptic infections, demonstrating greater efficiency in detecting P. chesapeaki in lightly infected sites such as Noirmoutier. Conversely, infection intensity was underestimated with dPCR relative to qPCR for clams with moderate to high Perkinsus infection levels (10<sup>3</sup> cp.µL<sup>-1</sup> or higher), proving the latter more suitable for medium to heavily infected areas like Arcachon Bay.
