Project: Cross Protection against Myxobolus cerebralis infections by exposure to Myxobolus arcticus

Primary Investigator: Michael Kent
Project Summary: The purpose of this project was to learn whether previous exposure to the myxozoan parasite Myxobolus arcticus confers protection against whirling disease on young rainbow trout. Twenty-five fingerlings were subject to each of four treatments: no parasite exposure, M. arcticus exposure only, whirling disease exposure only, or whirling disease exposure following M. arcticus exposure. After five months all fish were sacrificed and prepared for disease assay. The results of these tests have not been returned to the investigators.
