Re: Marine Ich - Myths and Facts

What an excellent read. One point puzzles me though. Fact # 14 (an interesting find)under "life & visuals" states that MI will wear itself out in 11 months if never expose to a new MI infestation. I assume it's a genetic inbreeding thing. Fact #5 under defense & immunity states that a fish can develop an immunity to MI in which it still can still host the cyst phase yet not show signs.
Does this mean that quarantine alone (unless it's 11 months long) without a tried & true treatment is not enough to guarantee the fish is MI free? My opologies if I'm missing something basic here
