Genetic variation among<i>Flavobacterium psychrophilum</i>isolates from wild and farmed salmonids in Norway and Chile

Abstract

This study shows a wide geographical distribution of Fl. psychrophilum, indicating that the bacterium has a large potential for transmission over long distances, and between different salmonid hosts species. This knowledge will be important for future management of salmonids diseases connected to Fl. psychrophilum.
