Abstract
An unusual case of infection of coho salmon, Ocorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), in British Columbia, Canada with a myxosporean Kudoa thyrsitis (Gilchrist) is described. This first report of Kudoa parasitizing a member of the genus Oncorhynchus is interesting also because of the unusual site of Kudoa in the fish, the cardiac muscle.
