Bath treatment of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) with amoebae antigens fails to affect survival to subsequent amoebic gill disease (AGD) challenge
There is no consistent evidence of resistance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to amoebic gill disease (AGD), despite either a prior history of AGD, passive immunisation or active immunisation. Here, fish were bathed in amoebae antigens from either an avirulent in vitro cultured strain or wild-type...

There is no consistent evidence of resistance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to amoebic gill disease (AGD), despite either a prior history of AGD, passive immunisation or active immunisation.

Neither bath treatment enhanced survival compared to a placebo treated group of fish. Similarly treatment did not influence the proportion of AGD-affected gill filaments in fish surviving the AGD challenge.
