A cross-sectional survey of Renibacterium salmoninarum infection in farmed rainbow trout (RBT) and wild fish populations was carried out in 10 farms and six river catchments, respectively, in England and Wales. The majority of the wild fish were sampled in 1998 and the farmed fish in 2000. Grayling, Thymallus thymallus, and brown trout, Salmo trutta Two fish, one grayling and one salmon, were with 40 confirmed polymerase chain reaction-positive wild fish. The highest prevalence of , were the main wild species sampled.Salmo salar,R. salmoninarum culture-positive, comparedR. salmoninarum infection was found in grayling in rivers with RBT farms with a history of R. salmoninarum infection. One hundred and fifty fish were sampled from each RBT farm, but none of the fish was found to be found, for the first time, for the presence of R. salmoninarum-positive. Evidence was R. salmoninarum in an eel, Anguilla anguilla.
