Transmission and Persistence of Ceratomyxa shasta, Transmission and Persistence of Ceratomyxa shasta in Chinook Salmon

Creator:

Wong, Peter, Hurst, Charlene N., Ray, R. Adam, and Bartholomew, Jerri L.

Abstract:

Native to the Pacific Northwest, Ceratomyxashastais a myxosporeanparasite that infects wild and cultivated salmon and has a significance impact on its population in the Klamath River basin. The study suggests that the transmission of mixed genotypes of the parasite are common in Chinook salmon but the age of the fish...

Mortality threshold for juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in an epidemiological model of Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:

Ray, R. Adam

Abstract:

The myxozoan parasite, Ceratomyxa shasta, is the most significant pathogen of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Klamath River, CA, USA. This parasite requires two hosts - a freshwater polychaete (Manayunkia speciosa) and a salmonid - to complete its life cycle. The complex life cycle and large geographic area...
