Triactinomyxons (TAMs) release by Tubificids Collected from the Madison River (Montana)

Oligochaetes were collected from six side channels of the Madison River (Montana) and observed for TAM release. This dataset shows the number of the tubificids with morphology similar to T. tubifex that were observed releasing TAMs. Tubificids releasing TAMs were counted as "infected," and the number of infected tubificids was calculated for each collection period and side channel. These data were used in conjunction with density data from benthic cores to determine the density of infected T. tubifex (as described in the paper). These data suggest that the dynamics of M. cerebralis infections in the Madison River are driven both by the abundance of T. tubifex and the availability of infectious myxospores and that the relative importance of each may vary among the hot spots.â€
