SYNOPSIS. Trophozoites and other pre‐spore stages of the myxosporidan Myxosoma cerebralis were taken from infected rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ) and cultured in vitro. Cultures eventually yielded mature spores capable of discharging their polar capsules. This is the first report of culture of a myxosporidan.
