Ceratonova shasta This myxozan parasite (formerly Ceratomyxa shasta) causes enteronecrosis “gut rot” in salmon and trout. C. shasta is native to the Pacific Northwest and can cause disease outbreaks in trout hatcheries and in free-ranging Chinook and coho salmon under conditions of environmental stress. Professor Jerri Bartholomew (OSU Microbiology) solved the complex C. shasta life cycle and identified the infectious agent for fishes. The cycle is now maintained in the AAHL and enables experiments on: fish susceptibility, parasite genetics, the influence of temperature and flow on infection dynamics.
