- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the risk of myxobolus cerebralis infection to rainbow trout in the Madison River in Montana. Environmental characteristics were measured in side channels of the river and the differences were described with a principal components analysis. The site-specific contribution to whirling disease risk in the side channels was determined with the use of in situ exposures of sentinel rainbow trout. The results of the study indicated that side channels with fine sediments and lower water temperatures made greater site-specific contribution to disease risk and had higher densities of infection than side channels with coarser sediments and higher temperatures.
