Hodges K and Rash J. Quantifying Current Distribution of Myxobolus cerebralis and Whirling Disease within North Carolina. Research Permit and Reporting System
The NCWRC initiated testing of self-sustaining wild trout populations in spring 2016 for the presence of Myxobolus cerebralis and whirling disease. 1,500 trout were collected from 36 localities. Four collections from three major river basins (Yadkin, French Broad, and Watauga) were infected with Myxobolus cerebralis: Rainbow Trout from Roaring Creek; Brown Trout from South Toe River, Laurel Creek, and Boone Fork; and Brook Trout from Laurel Creek.
