Abstract
Intraperitoneal vaccines using whole viable spores of the microsporidian Glugea anomala or Glugea hertwigi reduced the numbers of branchial xenomas by 80% and 91%, respectively, after a standard experimental infection of juvenile rainbow trout with the microsporidian Loma salmonae. Similar significant results were obtained when killed-spore preparations were used.
