Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Renibacterium salmoninarum the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), was cultured from intra-abdominal adhesions in farmed Atlantic salmon and captive coho salmon. A widespread adjuvant insult and fibrin exudate within the abdominal cavity of the Atlantic salmon and to a lesser extent in the coho salmon contained intra and extracellular locations of the bacterium. The fish were considered sub-clinically infected with R. salmoninarum and under normal testing regimes unlikely to have been examined for this disease. Extensive tissue adhesions may mask gross signs of BKD and convey a risk of exacerbation of a sub-clinical infection.
