Piscirickettsiosis in the North-Atlantic

Piscirickettsiosis is an emerging disease in farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway, Scotland and Ireland. The project will primarily investigate similarities/differences in management of the disease in these countries and characterize the population structure of the causative agent (Piscirickettsia salmonis) in the North Atlantic area.
