Asymptomatic Infections

The indirect fluorescent antibody technique demonstrated the enzootic nature of bacterial kidney disease in 224 of the 605 wild salmonids sampled from the Margaree River system and some adjacent waters. Asymptomatic infections were observed in 33.4% of 456 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and 35.1% of 37 returning adults in samples taken from the source of the Margaree River to and including saltwater areas off the coast. Key words: kidney disease, Atlantic salmon, wild, distribution, fluorescent antibody

Serological Identification

An indirect fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) has been developed for serological identification, diagnosis of kidney disease (KD), and detection of subclinical infections of KD. Rabbit or goat antikidney disease serum and appropriately labeled immunoglobulin was found to be specific for the KD bacterium. The technique was superior to examination of gram-stained smears for detection of small numbers of KD bacteria. The test requires approximately 2 h.

Juvenile Atlantic Salmon

Bacterial kidney disease was presumptively identified in each of 25 hatchery-reared juvenile salmon (Salmo salar) but in only 2 of 235 wild juveniles in the Margaree River system. Apparently spread of disease from the hatchery to wild salmon in the river is very gradual.

Total Incidence

SUMMARYThe sera of 200 Chinese adults recently immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong were examined for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique. It was found that the total incidence was 18·0%. This is significantly lower than that of the indigenous population of the same age groups in this area.
