Environmental DNA reveals long-term persistence of a Midichloria-like bacterium in a rainbow trout aquaculture and links Ichthyopthirius multifiliis with the red mark syndrome

The paper uses environmental DNA to detect RMS-MLO and I. multifiliis in trout farms, finding RMS-MLO persists long-term without correlating with RMS outbreaks, while I. multifiliis increases during outbreaks.
