Enterocytozoon schreckii n. sp. Infects the Enterocytes of Adult Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and May Be a Sentinel of Immunosenescence
Abstract
In this work, we describe a new microsporidian species that infects the enterocytes of Chinook salmon. This novel pathogen is closely related to Enterocytozoon bieneusi , an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in AIDS patients and other severely immunocompromised humans.
