Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service; U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey; U.S. Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Service. 194 p. ii Letter of Transmittal The suppression of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is key to protecting aquaculture, the fastest growing segment of the U.S. agricultural economy. Government stewards of the salmon resource of the North Atlantic must communicate and cooperate to eradicate ISA before it becomes endemic. Sharing the science already learned by researchers in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom is essential to developing an effective management strategy. Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman acknowledged the importance of ISA when she authorized the expenditure of $8 million in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 to control and eradicate the disease. APHIS received pass-through funding for ISA research and control efforts in December 2001 and, in spring 2002, put into place program standards to eradicate the disease. In September 2002, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) hosted a symposium on ISA with assistance from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Marine Fish- eries Service. The American Veterinary Medical Association supplied organizational expertise as well. This 2-day event was held in connection with the International Symposium on Aquatic Animal Health in New Orleans. These symposium proceedings capture not only the formal scientific presentations but also a court reporter’s transcript of the informal presentations at the end of the second day, which addressed real-world considerations for ISA prevention, control, and eradication. Given the importance of the information shared at the meeting, APHIS staff members have pulled out all the stops to produce this book in 8 months. Once our supply of free copies is exhausted, copies can be purchased from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Also, a .pdf version will be placed on the Web site of APHIS’ Veterinary Services at <http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/aquaculture>. I hope you find the information presented at the conference as useful as I did. W. Ron DeHaven Deputy Administrator, Veterinary Services Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Washington, DC iii Foreword On behalf of Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, APHIS Administrator Bobby Acord, and the Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services, Ron DeHaven, thanks for your interest in learning more about infectious salmon anemia (ISA). This book documents the scientific papers presented at a 2-day symposium held September 3–4, 2002, in New Orleans, LA, during the weeklong meeting of the International Symposium on Aquatic Animal Health. In addition to 18 formal scientific presenta- tions, we have captured comments from individuals who spoke briefly during an open forum held at the end of day 2 of the symposium. While the formal presentations were submitted in advance and put through rigorous peer review, the forum talks were not vetted or corrected, other than for clarity. We took the precaution of using a local court reporter to capture the forum talks verbatim since those speakers were not required to submit manuscripts. The meeting itself was structured to provide an international response to ISA using the themes of prevention, control, and eradication. Four moderators introduced the main subject topics and the speakers’ presentations in the areas of international applied research response, diagnostic and laboratory response, management response, and regula- tory response. Our speakers provided the most current international knowledge on the extent of ISA infection in various countries, including the number of salmon farms affected, depopulation statistics, and related issues such as indemnification, regulation, and management. Also covered were effective and ineffective management procedures, projected outcomes of procedures in current use, and new developments in applied ISA science and research, including diagnostics and prevention. Presenters represented five countries: Canada, Chile, Norway, Scotland, and the United States. When the number of speakers reached 19, we split the meeting into 2 sessions on successive days. The second day culminated in a panel discussion entitled Practical Future Consider- ations for ISA Prevention, Control, and Eradication. This open forum was designed to allow audience participation and permit ISA experts not on the official agenda to address topics of interest. It always takes a team of workers to organize and execute a meeting like ours and to bring its results to printed form afterward. We will give you more particulars on this process and identify all the major players in the Acknowledgments section immediately following this Foreword. Should you wish to contact any speakers or forum participants for more details, appendixes 1 and 2 provide complete contact information. iv We look forward to working with you in helping the aquaculture industries and natural-resource agencies manage ISA. The symposium held in New Orleans was an important national and international step in coming to grips with this significant aquatic animal health threat. Otis Miller, Jr., D.V.M., M.S.

  • Distribution and Coinfection of Microparasites and Macroparasites in Juvenile Salmonids in Three Upper Willamette River Tributaries
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sean Robert Roon for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology presented on December 9, 2014. Title: Distribution and Coinfection of Microparasites and Macroparasites in Juvenile Salmonids in Three Upper Willamette River Tributaries. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Jerri L. Bartholomew Wild fish populations are typically infected with a variety of micro- and macroparasites that may affect fitness and survival, however, there is little published information on parasite distribution in wild juvenile salmonids in three upper tributaries of the Willamette River, OR. The objectives of this survey were to document (1) the distribution of select microparasites in wild salmonids and (2) the prevalence, geographical distribution, and community composition of metazoan parasites infecting these fish. From 2011-2013, I surveyed 279 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and 149 rainbow trout O. mykiss for one viral (IHNV) and four bacterial (Aeromonas salmonicida, Flavobacterium columnare, Flavobacterium psychrophilum, and Renibacterium salmoninarum) microparasites known to cause mortality of fish in Willamette River hatcheries. The only microparasite detected was Renibacterium salmoninarum, causative agent of bacterial kidney disease, which was detected at all three sites. I identified 23 metazoan parasite taxa in these fish. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling of metazoan parasite communities reflected a nested structure with trematode metacercariae being the basal parasite taxa at all three sites. The freshwater trematode Nanophyetus salmincola was the most common macroparasite observed at three sites. Metacercariae of N. salmincola have been shown to impair immune function and disease resistance in saltwater. To investigate if N. salmincola affects disease susceptibility in freshwater, I conducted a series of disease challenges to evaluate whether encysted N.

Norway ABSTRACT: Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 is an important pathogen in Norwegian populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. It can infect a wide range of salmonid host species, but on most the infections are probably ultimately lim~tedby a host response. Generally, on Norwegian salmon stocks, infections grow unchecked until the host dies. On a Baltic salmon stock, originally from the Neva River, a host reaction is mounted, limltlng parasite population growth on those fishes initially susceptible. Among rainbow trouts Oncorhynchus mykiss from the sam.e stock and among full sib anadromous arctic char Salvelinus alpjnus, both naturally resistant and susceptible individuals later mounting a host response can be observed. This is in contrast to an anadromous stock of brown trout Salmo trutta where only innately resistant individuals were found. A general feature of salmonid infections is the considerable variation of susceptibility between individual fish of the same stock, which appears genetic in origin. The parasite seems to be generally unable to reproduce on non-salmonids, and on cyprinids, individual behavioural mechanisms of the parasite may prevent infection. Transmission occurs directly through host contact, and by detached gyrodactylids and also from dead fishes.

    1.2.13 Piscirickettsiosis - 1 1.2.13 Piscirickettsiosis Marcia L. House and John L. Fryer Center for Salmon Disease Research Department of Microbiology Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331-3804 [email protected] [email protected] A. Name of Disease and Etiological Agent 1. Name of Disease Piscirickettsiosis, salmonid rickettsial septicemia, coho salmon septicemia, and Huito disease. 2. Etiological Agent Piscirickettsia salmonis This organism is an intracellular rickettsial-like pathogen of fish that replicates within membrane- bound cytoplasmic vacuoles of infected cells. The bacterium is fastidious and does not grow on any known artificial media. It is distantly related to the genera Coxiella and Francisella, and is grouped with the gamma subdivision of the proteobacteria. J. L. Fryer and C. N. Lannan have suggested this bacterium be included in a new family Piscirickettsiaceae and the proposal for the family with the formal description will appear in volume 2, second edition of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (expected publication date in 2002). B. Known Geographical Range and Host Species of the Disease 1. Geographical Range Isolated from salmonid fish in Chile, Ireland, Norway, and both the west and east coasts of Canada. 2. Host Species Piscirickettsiosis has been observed in or isolated from coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), sakura salmon (O. masou), rainbow trout (O. mykiss), pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Coho salmon appear most susceptible. Other species of fish may also be susceptible to this bacterium. August 2001 1.2.13 Piscirickettsiosis - 2 C.
