| Abstract: | Simple and rapid identification of pathogen species is crucial to the control of many diseases. Here, James Kay, Andrew Shinn and Christina Sommerville demonstrate that statistical classifiers discriminate a notifiable pathogen Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957, a lethal ectoparasite of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., from its benign close relatives. |
