The histopathology of acute and chronic infections of rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri Richardson with eye flukes, Diplostomum spp.

A histopathological study was carried out on rainbow trout suffering from acute and chronic diplostomiasis. Clinical signs were few in acutely infected fish but in chronic cases fish were blind, exophthalmic and emaciated. Acute infections resulted in subcapsular cataract formation with varying caps...
