Nonlethal detection of <i>Renibacterium salmoninarum</i> in Greenback Cutthroat Trout <i>Oncorhynchus clarkii stomias</i> comparing mucus, blood, and ovarian fluid samples to kidney tissues
Our results suggest that nonlethal mucus swabbing could serve as a practical alternative for monitoring R. salmoninarum, especially in conservation efforts where minimizing fish mortality is critical.
