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...

Development of monoclonal antibodies against the myxosporean, ceratomyxa shasta, and characterization of the salmonid host response

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....
