| Notes | This article illustrates the lack of disease resistance in Siletz River steelhead trout to a disease caused by a protozoan parasite. “All the summer steelheads Salmo gairdneri from the Siletz, an Oregon coastal river in which Ceratomyxa shasta does not occur, died when they were exposed to waters containing the infectious Stage of C. shasta. In contrast, three strains of summer steelhead from tributaries of the Columbia River where C. Shasta is endemic were resistant to ceratomyxosis.” (from the Abstract) |
