| long term gyrodactylus lomi infection on isolated juvenile chub (leuciscus cephalus). | previous studies on long term gyrodactylid infections on isolated fish have shown that for the majority of gyrodactylus-fish interactions, infections peak at a maximum level and then decline as the host mounts an effective immune response. in the current study, juvenile chub collected from the wild still harboured gyrodactylus lomi infections after 6 - 10 months in the laboratory despite being individually maintained at 12 c. | 2008 | 18576882 |
