Abstract
Spring Chinook salmon finger lings from the Oregon State Fish Commission hatcheries on the South Santiam River in Linn County and the McKenzie River in Lane County were found to be infected with Myxobolus insidiosos sp. n. Cysts and vegetative stages were found in the body musculature. Free spores were found in the gill capillaries, kidney, liver, and spleen. Some infected fish exhibited slightly swollen circular areas upon the body, which are devoid of scales, as well as frayed fins and tails.Keywords
