    Author: Achleitner D, Gassner H, Schabetsberger R.
    Journal: J Fish Biol; 2009 Mar; 74(4):961-6. PubMed ID: 20735611.
    Abstract:
    In May 2005, an epidemic of the cestode Triaenophorus crassus occurred in the Salvelinus umbla population of Lake Grundlsee, an oligotrophic Austrian Alpine Lake. Based on catches with a standardized multi-mesh gillnet survey 53% of S. umbla were infected with up to 17 cysts of T. crassus per fish. This is the first documented record of an epidemic of this tapeworm in S. umbla.
