Abstrakt: This article discusses a study which examined the effects of Ceratomyxa shasta dose on several fishes. The study applied laboratory challenges to examine the infective dose for three fish species: a rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, Chinook O. tshawytscha and coho salmon O. kisutch. It investigated the outcome of Ceratomyxa shasta infection under conditions of varying parasite dose, fish size and parasite concentration. The study found that Chinook salmon did not become infected even when challenged with actinospores.
