Abstract excerpt
Recent progress in understanding the etiology of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) includes the identification of freshwater bryozoans as the natural hosts of the myxozoan parasite that causes the disease in salmonid fish and formal description of the parasite as Tetracapsula bryosalmonae. This paper presents data on patterns of occurrence of T. bryosalmonae and sequence variation among isolates. T. bryosalmonae...
