Use of lesion filtrates for the transmission of UDN (ulcerative dermal necrosis) in salmonids
Spawning Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (L.), brown trout, Salmo trutta (L.) and rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri (Richardson) were held in tanks for four weeks and then injected with filtrates from lesions of salmon naturally infected with UDN. In some cases prednisolone acetate was included in the ino...

| Summary: | Spawning Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (L.), brown trout, Salmo trutta (L.) and rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri (Richardson) were held in tanks for four weeks and then injected with filtrates from lesions of salmon naturally infected with UDN. In some cases prednisolone acetate was included in the inoculum. Water temperatures were recorded daily and the time of appearance of the lesions was noted. Passage experiments using extracts of these lesions were carried out. |
