Project: Development and Characterization of Strains of Tubifex tubifex that Differ in Susceptibility to Myxobolus cerebralis

Primary Investigator: Willard Granath
Project Summary: If environmental conditions could be controlled to favor worm hosts that are not susceptible to whirling disease, its spread could be somewhat inhibited. In this project, Montana researchers developed worm strains from different areas, characterized them genetically, and evaluated their susceptibility to whirling disease. The next step will be to characterize the environmental conditions that favor the disease-resistant strains.
