Molecular Analysis of Environmental Water Samples as a Monitoring Method for the Fish Parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis

Creator:

Howell, Claire K.

Abstract:

Parasites are ubiquitous members of ecological communities, capable of contributing to the decline of vulnerable populations. Therefore, monitoring parasite level is a critical component for host management. Molecular tools, such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), can be valuable additions to monitoring protocols that assess parasitic disease risk to hosts....
