Abstract
Trophozoites and other pre-spore stages of the myxosporidan M. cerebralis were taken from infected rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and cultured in vitro. Cultures eventually yielded mature spores capable of discharging their polar capsules. This is the 1st report of culture of a myxosporidan.Keywords
