Abstract
Ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN), a chronic skin condition, affects primarily mature wild salmonids returning from the sea to freshwater for their spawning. The involvement of water moulds such as Saprolegnia parasitica as a secondary pathogen in this disease is clear but the identification of a primary cause or of primary pathogen(s) remains elusive. In this opinion article, we re-visit UDN regarding epidemiology, pathology and aetiology and speculate the potential involvement of UV radiation in the initiation of UDN in salmonid fish returning from the sea.
期刊介绍:
Fungal Biology Reviews is an international reviews journal, owned by the British Mycological Society. Its objective is to provide a forum for high quality review articles within fungal biology. It covers all fields of fungal biology, whether fundamental or applied, including fungal diversity, ecology, evolution, physiology and ecophysiology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, cell biology, interactions (symbiosis, pathogenesis etc), environmental aspects, biotechnology and taxonomy. It considers aspects of all organisms historically or recently recognized as fungi, including lichen-fungi, microsporidia, oomycetes, slime moulds, stramenopiles, and yeasts.
