Abstract
Recent information from Chile suggests the apparent high virulence of Piscirickettsia salmonis in cultured salmonids results from the stress generated by the unhealthily high concentrations at which the fish are grown during production rather than by any inherently greater virulence of this seemingly opportunistic pathogen. These high levels of disease lead to excessive use of antimicrobials that in turn negatively affect piscine and human health and the environment.
