Abstract
Experiments involving 200 rainbow trout showed that host defence mechanisms in sea lice-infested fish are impaired, predisposing fish to subsequent infections to a second pathogen, such as the microsporidian parasite Loma salmonae. Macrophage impairment in lice-infested fish occurred when sea lice became mobile and remained suppressed until the end of the experiment..
