Use of a live vaccine to modulate Cryptobia salmositica infections in Salmo salar.
The vaccine strain of Cryptobia salmositica multiplies in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and it can modulate the severity of the disease in Cryptobia-infected individuals. Fish injected with the vaccine 3 d post-infection with C. salmositica had lower peak parasitaemias and higher antibody titres than infected fish given the vaccine 7 d post-infection or those infected fish that were not given the vaccine.
