Project: Development and Testing of Risk Assessment Tools for Myxobolus cerebralis Infection of Native Cutthroat Trout in Yellowstone National Park

Primary Investigator: Billie Kerans
Project Summary: In Yellowstone National Park, the researchers will examine the spacial and temporal variation in whirling disease risk to cutthroat trout populations, the biological and physiochemical factors which correlate with infection risk, and the life history of Yellowstone cutthroat trout that possibly could allow some subpopulations to have low risk of infection. This study is part of a long-term project to determine the loss of native Yellowstone cutthroat trout that can be attributed to whirling disease in streams of Yellowstone National Park and the Intermountain West.
