| etiology of ulcerative lesions of atlantic menhaden (brevoortia tyrannus) from james river, virginia. | we observed ulcerative lesions on live atlantic menhaden, brevoortia tyrannus, during ichthyofaunal sampling in the tidal james river in october 1999 (near jamestown, va, usa). other synoptically collected fishes exhibited no signs of lesions or pre-ulcerative tissues. live fish were classified as unremarkable (no dermal anomalies), pre-ulcerative (integument intact with boil-like swelling), and ulcerative (severe focal lesions). specimens were analyzed for bacteria, fungi, and pathogenic protoz ... | 2005 | 16133297 |
| quantitative pcr assay for mycobacterium pseudoshottsii and mycobacterium shottsii and application to environmental samples and fishes from the chesapeake bay. | striped bass (morone saxatilis) in the chesapeake bay are currently experiencing a very high prevalence of mycobacteriosis associated with newly described mycobacterium species, mycobacterium pseudoshottsii and m. shottsii. the ecology of these mycobacteria outside the striped bass host is currently unknown. in this work, we developed quantitative real-time pcr assays for m. pseudoshottsii and m. shottsii and applied these assays to dna extracts from chesapeake bay water and sediment samples, as ... | 2010 | 20656856 |
