Salmon poisoning disease (SPD), a febrile infectious disease of canids and rarely other species, is caused by the agent Neorickettsia helminthoeca, an alphaproteobacterium within the order Rickettsiales. Several major changes regarding classification of organisms within this order occurred recently, ...
Salmon Poisoning Disease is caused by a bacteria (Neorickettsia helminthoeca) that only afflict canines, including foxes, coyotes, wolves, and pet dogs. The bacteria are delivered to the dog by a trematode, or fluke, calledNanophyetus salmincola(notice that the second part of the name refer...
Upon ingestion of salmonid fish parasitized with infected trematodes, canids develop salmon poisoning disease (SPD), an acute febrile illness that is particularly severe and often fatal in dogs without adequate treatment. We determined and analysed the complete genome sequence ofN. helminthoeca: a ...

Neorickettsia helminthoeca is an obligate intra-cytoplasmic bacterium that causes salmon poisoning disease (SPD), an acute, febrile, fatal disease of dogs. The complex life-cycle of this pathogen involves stages in an intestinal fluke ( Nanophyetus salmincola), a river snail ( Oxytrema silic...
