Project: Demonstration and Evaluation of Alternative Methods of Triactinomyxon Attenuation for Control of Whirling Disease

Primary Investigator: Eric Krch
Project Summary: The goal of this research project was to determine the feasibility of direct filtration methods for removal of Myxobolus cerebralis TAMs in various filtration media. Bench testing and field demonstrations were conducted using domestic and natural water sources to develop a scope of operational considerations and evaluate filtration media types. The results of the fieldwork suggest that direct passive filtration is possible; however, operation and maintenance are crucial elements in full-scale operations. The results of the research provide design considerations, filtration media selection, and application rates of infected influent to achieve desired rates of M. cerebralis TAM removal.
