Project: Evaluation of Quantitative Real-Time PCR for Rapid Assessments of the Exposure of Sentinel Fish to Myxobolus cerebralis

Primary Investigator: Mark Adkison
Project Summary: The researchers in this project will test the sensitivity and specificity of two new rapid and sensitive PCR assays that have already been developed at UC-Davis, and compare these to currently-used detection assays (PCR, histology, and pepsin-trypsin digest). If these methods test out, time can be saved in evaluating sentinel fish in future studies, and the progress of parasite infection in rainbow trout can be evaluated more effectively.
