About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to CEFAS for research to identify the possible agent(s) of puffy skin disease (PSD) in rainbow trout.
PSD is an economically significant, emerging skin condition affecting rainbow trout, and direct cohabitation challenges have shown it is transmissible, yet the causative infectious agent(s) remain unknown despite extensive histological, virological and bacteriological examinations.
The work seeks to provide scientific data on the nature of the transmissible agent(s) to assist in the development of disease mitigation strategies.
The contract value is £24,634.
