Neoparamoeba spp. is a marine amphizoic protozoan parasite which infects the gills of marine cultured Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, worldwide causing amoebic gill disease (AGD). Amoebic gill disease is a significant health issue affecting the production of sea-caged Atlantic salmon in Australia with...
