| strawberry disease lesions in rainbow trout from southern idaho are associated with dna from a rickettsia-like organism. | strawberry disease (sd) in the usa is a skin disorder of unknown etiology that occurs in rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss and is characterized by bright red inflammatory lesions. to identify a candidate bacterial agent responsible for sd, we constructed 16s rdna libraries from 7 sd lesion samples and 2 apparently healthy skin samples from sd-affected fish. a 16s rdna sequence highly similar to members of the order rickettsiales was present in 3 lesion libraries at 1%, 32% and 54% prevalence, bu ... | 2008 | 19149374 |
| comparison of the susceptibility of four rainbow trout strains to cold-water disease. | abstract susceptibility to cold-water disease was compared among four strains of rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss: arlee strain from ennis national fish hatchery, montana (al-en), the arlee strain from jocko river hatchery, montana (al-jr), a cold-water disease-resistant strain (wv), and the harrison-hofer strain (hh). bacterial challenges were either by bath or intraperitoneal injection (50 μl of 0.65 optical density). each strain was exposed at 75 d after hatch to either the csf 259-93 (idaho ... | 2014 | 25229487 |
