Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha) reared in the Pacific Northwest of the United States suffer from infection with Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD) (Rhodes et al. 2004). The conclusion from this study was that whole-cell vaccines with or without CpG adjuvants provided limited protection against i.p. challenge by R. salmoninarum. However, a combined vaccine of a commercial vaccine (Renogen) with R. salmoninarum with or without CpG adjuvant significantly reduced the level of bacterial antigens in the kidneys of naturally infected fish (Rhodes et al. 2004).
