Creator:: Bartholomew, Jerri Lee
Abstract:: Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were produced against the myxosporean parasite, Ceratomyxa shasta, and were characterized by indirect immunofluorescent techniques, western blot analysis, and immunoelectron microscopy. The resulting Mabs reacted specifically with the trophozoite and sporoblast stages of the parasite, but not with the mature spore, indicating that certain antigens are stage-specific....

Full Text:: myxosporean, ceratomyxa shasta, and characterization of the salmonid host response AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS

Creator:: Bjork, Sarah J.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta is a myxozoan parasite that infects salmonid fishes causing the disease ceratomyxosis that is characterized by severe hemorrhage and necrosis of the intestine and death of the fish host. Ceratomyxa shasta is endemic to the Pacific Northwestern United States and Canada, where epizootics are reported for both wild...

Creator:: Ray, Robert Adam
Abstract:: Most parasites and their hosts live in a balance within their environment; however a disease outbreak can occur when either the parasite, host, or environment, are perturbed. Myxozoan parasites are associated with a wide variety of cultured and wild fish populations. Most myxozoans are relatively benign to their vertebrate host;...

Full Text:: Complex Life Cycle of the Myxozoan Parasite Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:: Hurst, Charlene N.
Abstract:: The within-host interactions that can occur as a result of mixed infections in wildlife likely influence the outcome of an infection. We investigated the infection frequency and outcome as well as the potential mechanisms regulating mixed infections with two Ceratonova shasta genotypes within the Chinook salmon host. Previous research in...
