Abstract
It has been known for many years that furunculosis affects a wide variety of freshwater fish. Plehn (1911) not only reported the disease in various teleosts, but also described experimental procedures for infecting certain of these species with furunculosis. Williamson (1929) experimentally transmitted the disease to the minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus L.) and the goldfish (Carassius auratus L.). Mawdesley-Thomas (1969) reported naturally-occurring furunculosis in the goldfish and described its histopathology.
