Abstract

Molecular diagnostics have made it possible to identify Neoparamoeba perurans as the causative agent involved in the earliest AGD outbreaks in Ireland. A range of other putative pathogens, associated with gill disease were also detected indicating that they have been present in Irish aquaculture for over 20 years.
