High Prevalence and Fecal Shedding of <em>Piscirickettsia salmonis</em> in Wild Chilean Silverside (<em>Odontesthes regia</em>) in Ecosystems with and Without Aquaculture and Its Role in Pathogen Dissemination
2026-08-06
Abstract excerpt
Piscirickettsia salmonis, the etiological agent of piscirickettsiosis (or SRS), represents the most significant health challenge for salmon farming in Chile. While it is generally assumed that fish farms are the epicenter of the disease, the role of migratory wild fish in its ecology and dissemination remains an enigma. This study evaluates the prevalence and shedding routes of P. salmonis in the Chilean silversid...
