Book •
This book examines the etiology, pathology, epidemiology, and ecological impact of whirling disease in trout and salmonids, focusing on Myxobolus cerebralis.
It discusses the parasite's life cycle, clinical signs such as the characteristic whirling swimming behavior, skeletal deformities, and the high mortality observed in infected juvenile fish.
The text addresses diagnostic approaches, prevention, and management strategies relevant to fisheries and aquaculture.
Hoffmann's work highlights the significance of the disease for wild and farmed fish populations and provides case studies and research findings that informed containment and mitigation efforts.
The book is valued by fish health professionals and researchers studying myxozoan parasites and aquatic disease ecology.
