• Resumen

  • Francisella philomiragia was isolated fram Atlantic salmon cage-farmed in the Llanquihue lake with outbreaks of a granulomatous disease, with high rates of morbidity and an accumulated mortalities between 5% to 20%. The isolates had 100% similarity with F. Philomiragia ssp noatunensis or F. Piscicida isolated in Atlantic cod, 99% similarity with Francisella sp. Detected in tilapia fram Asia and Central America and 99% of similarity with the reference strain F. PhilOlniragia thraugh 165 rDNA phylogenetic analysis.
