This report describes the isolation of a new virus from adult
chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) returning to the Tokushibetsu Hatchery,
Hokkaido, Japan. The agent was isolated in the CHSE-214 cell line
derived from chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). The virus
replicated in selected fish cell lines incubated between 10 and 20°C...
The occurrence and distribution of fish viruses in Oregon were
determined by the examination of anadromous and fresh water salmonids.
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was isolated and
identified from asymptomatic adult coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and
chinook (0. tshawytscha) salmon returning to the Columbia River
system. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus...
The distribution in Oregon of two viruses affecting salmonid
fishes was determined by examination of hatchery and feral fish.
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was isolated from fish
at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Research Laboratory,
Corvallis, Roaring River, Fort Klamath, and Wizard Falls Hatcheries.
Fish collected at...
Persistent infections with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus
(IPNV) were established in two salmonid cell lines and in live brook
trout. Virus inocula containing high concentrations of defective
interfering IPNV enhanced but were not a requirement for the establishment
of persistent infections in cell lines derived from steelhead
trout (STE-137) and...
Twenty-two isolates of Flexibacter columnaris were
collected from different species of fish from a wide
geographic range. Shieh medium was selected and modified
to provide satisfactory growth of F. columnaris strains.
Although there were three phenotypic variations in colony
morphology among the strains observed, the environmental
and biochemical characteristics as...
