TLDR
The results suggest that P. piscicida is a common, and normally benign, inhabitant of estuarine waters of the eastern coast of the United States.Abstract:
PCR and fluorescent in situ hybridization probes were used to assay for the presence of the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida in 170 estuarine water samples collected from New York to nothem Florida. 20% of samples tested positive for the presence of P. piscicida, including sites where fish kills due to Pjiesteria have occurred and sites where there was no historical evidence of such events. The results extend the lmown range of P. piscicida northward to Long Island, New York. The results also suggest that P. piscicida is a common, and normally benign, inhabitant of estuarine waters of the easternread more
