| Impact Description | While Myxobolus cerebralis has not been detected in the Great Lakes region of Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (2012) lists it as a reportable disease. Such recognition warrants assessment of this species as having a high environmental effect for the region. M. cerebralis myxospores infect the cosmopolitan oligochaete worm Tubifex tubifex prior to development into a fish-infecting form. |
