[Freshwater bryozoans (Bryozoa: Phylactolaemata) as vectors of salmonid disease].
Relations of PKX [vector of proliferative kidney disease (PKD)] of reared and wild Salmonoidea and Tetraspora bryozoides, the only genus and species of Myxozoa found in fresh water Bryozoa, is discussed using recent publications. Both organisms were found in several European countries as well as in North America. It seems that PKX is a Bryozoa parasite which do not undergo full cycle of sporulation in fish.
