Paranucleospora theridion (Microsporidia) infection dynamics in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar put to sea in spring and autumn
Sveen, Silje; Øverland, Hanne; Karlsbakk, Egil; Nylund, Are (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-10-10)The microsporidian Paranucleospora theridion (syn. Desmozoon lepeophtheirii) is a parasite of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and also a hyperparasite of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis. The parasite develops 2 types ... -

Isaksen, Trond E.; Karlsbakk, Egil; Sundnes, Gunnar; Nylund, Are (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-02-17)Infection patterns with ectoparasitic flagellates belonging to the genus Ichthyobodo were studied in an Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (L.) hatchery in western Norway during an 11 mo period, from eyed eggs to smoltification. ... -
Potential disease interaction reinforced: double-virusinfected escaped farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., recaptured in a nearby river
Madhun, Abdullah Sami; Karlsbakk, Egil; Isachsen, Cecilie Helen; Omdal, Linn Maren; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Skaala, Øystein; Barlaup, Bjørn; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-27)The role of escaped farmed salmon in spreading infectious agents from aquaculture to wild salmonid populations is largely unknown. This is a case study of potential disease interaction between escaped farmed and wild fish ... -

It is primarily based on culturing Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout and has the potential to influence the surrounding environment ... -
Seatrout (Salmo trutta) is a natural host for Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola (Myxozoa, Myxosporea), an important pathogen of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Hansen, Haakon; Poppe, Trygve T; Markussen, Turhan; Karlsbakk, Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-10)Background: Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola (Myxozoa) causes widespread infections in farmed Atlantic salmon in northern Norway.
