Experimental Pathogenesis of Lymphocystis in the Plaice (Pleuronectes Platessa)

  • Chapter

Abstract

The experimental pathogenesis of Lymphocystis disease in the plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) is described. The lesions developed slowly over 3/4 months at 10°C and there was evidence of both serum antibody and cell-mediated immunity prior to resolution.
