Studies on ulcerative dermal necrosis of salmonids
Six salmon Salmo salar (L.) were vaccinated with an extract of normal salmon skin, to elicit production of anti‐epithelial antibodies. These were produced within 8 weeks and were readily detectable by immunofluorescence, no evidence for the presence of similar antibodies in UDN infected salmon or no...

| Summary: | Six salmon Salmo salar (L.) were vaccinated with an extract of normal salmon skin, to elicit production of anti‐epithelial antibodies. These were produced within 8 weeks and were readily detectable by immunofluorescence, no evidence for the presence of similar antibodies in UDN infected salmon or normal salmon or trout was obtained. Experimental traumatization of the skin of vaccinated salmon with dry ice failed to produce Pemphigus type lesions and it was concluded that UDN was not an auto‐immune disease of the pemphigus type. |
