High Genetic Diversity in Flavobacterium psychrophilum Isolates from Healthy Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Farmed in the Same Watershed, Revealed by Two Typing Methods.

Abstract excerpt

Flavobacterium psychrophilum affects salmonid health worldwide and causes economic losses. The genetic diversity of the pathogen must be considered to develop control methods. However, previous studies have reported both high and low levels of genetic diversity. The present longitudinal study aimed at assessing the genetic diversity of F. psychrophilum at a small temporal and geographic scale. Four farms located...
