Popis: The prevalence of Ceratomyxa shasta infection in production stocks of steelhead Oncor- hynchus mykiss and cutthroat trout O. clarki was monitored using a parasite-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. For all 4 stocks of fish followed through their 1 yr rearing cycle, C. shasta infection was detected despite their genetic resistance to the disease and the treatment of the incom- ing water with ozone. Infection was confirmed using serological methods and standard histological procedures, except when prevalence was low (
