S. Marshall et al., MINIMALLY INVASIVE DETECTION OF PISCIRICKETTSIA-SALMONIS IN CULTIVATED SALMONIDS VIA THE PCR, Applied and environmental microbiology, 64(8), 1998, pp. 3066-3069
The attributes of the PCR allowed implementation of an assay for speci
fic detection of Piscirickettsia salmonis from a few microliters of fi
sh serum. This opens the may to less invasive modes of sampling for th
is microbial pathogen in salmonids.
