dc.description.abstract	Ispir U. 2009. Prophylactic effect of levamisole on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) against Yersinia ruckeri. Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira 29(9): 700-702. Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Fisheries, Bingol University, 23119 Bingol, Turkey. E-mail: uispir@yahoo.com Alteration in the relative percentage of survival (RPS) rate of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to 5, 10 and 25 mu g ml(-1) levamisole for 2 h against Yersinia ruckeri was investigated. The average weight of the 120 fish used in this study was 6.3g. Upon challenge with a virulent strain, the relative survival percentage of respectively 83.3\%, 86.7\% and 76.6\% was recorded. The results suggest that the application of levamisole in fish farms could increase resistance to infection of fish and offer economic benefits.
