Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola (Myxosporea) in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar: tissue distribution, diagnosis and phylogeny

Abstract: Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola infections in farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway are associated with low-grade to significant mortalities. The parasite is found as mature spores in pseudobranchs, but has also been detected in the gills, liver and kidney. Diagnosis has relied on the detection of Parvicapsula spores, with the pseudobranch being the preferred organ. A better understanding of the epizootiology of this myxosporean is a prerequisite for appropriate management and control. Hence, early detection of infe… Show more

“…They are dark in colour, have eye bleedings, and some show cataracts and exophthalmia. The pseudobranchs of all affected individuals show changes, being swollen, granulomatous, haemorrhagic or partly eroded (Nylund et al, 2005). Heavily infected salmon become runts, probably due to vision impairment or blindness.…”
