Abstract
An investigation into disease problems at a hatchery revealed the coexistence of bacterial kidney disease and infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus in various lots of rainbow (Salmo gairdneri) and eastern brook (Salvelinus fontinalis) trout. During the study, increased mortality rates occurred in yearling brook trout with concurrent infections of bacterial kidney disease and IPN, but the mortality appeared to be primarily associated with the bacterial agent. Evidence is presented to indicate that infection with virus preceded the bacterial infection. Electron microscopic examination of kidney tissues showed that both agents could be found within the same cells.
