Ceratomyxa shasta is a myxozoan parasite identified as a contributor to salmon mortality in the Klamath River, USA. The parasite has a complex life cycle involving a freshwater polychaete, Manayunkia speciosa and a salmonid. As part of ongoing research on how environmental parameters influence parasite establishment and replication, we designed...

velocity on the Ceratomyxa shasta infectious cycle

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...

and Persistence of Ceratomyxa shasta

The recent identification of multiple genotypes of the salmonid parasite Ceratonova shasta with different virulence levels in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) suggests that it may be possible to immunize fish against subsequent infection and disease. We hypothesized that exposure of Chinook salmon to the less virulent parasite genotype (II) prior...
