Factors Affecting Post-Challenge Survival of Flavobacterium psychrophilum in Susceptible Rainbow Trout from the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Infectious bacterial pathogens are a concern for aquaculture as estimates suggest that billions of US dollars are lost annually in aquaculture due to disease. One of the most prevalent salmonid pathogens is the bacterium Flavobacterium psychrophilum that causes bacterial coldwater disease. We reviewed the published F. psychrophilum literature and conducted a Bayesian analysis to examine large-scale patterns in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) mortality associated with laboratory challenge. We incorporated factors that were common across a majority of the laboratory exposure studies and these included bacterial dose, culture time, exposure method, bacterial isolate, experimental duration, and fish weight. The comparison showed that injection as the exposure method pr
