Abstract
This is the first report of an antigenic preparation from the spore stage of any histozoic sporozoan parasite. The method for successful extraction of the antigens is presented. This antigenic preparation is active in rabbits, but not salmonid fish. The detection of asymptomatic carrier fish using the spore antigens was not successful and evidence is presented to show that the parasite is successful because its antigens mimic those of trout. Immunoelectrophoresis indicates the parasite and trout antigens are different proteins.
