Pathological signs in Atlantic salmon challenged with the LF-89 genogroup of P. salmonis at day 21 post-infection in cohabitant and control groups. Differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated fish were evaluated with a Chi-squared statistical test (* = p < 0.05). Abbreviations: UV: unvaccinated fish and V: vaccinated fish.
