  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Circulating antibody against spores of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Myxosoma cerebralis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been detected for the first time in rainbow trout (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Salmo gairdneri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) affected with whirling disease. An indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was employed for detection of trout immunoglobulin. Most sera of fish from an infected experimental group were found to give a positive reaction in the IFAT, while the majority of specific-pathogen-free control sera gave no reaction. Reagent preparation as well as staining and evaluation procedures are given. These results provide additional information for understanding the host/parasite relationship and offer a potential for development of a nondestructive serological test for whirling disease.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
