A series of experiments with Aeromonas salmonicida and infectious
hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were carried out to determine dynamics of the
spread of infection in chinook salmon (1.2-1.98g) and rainbow trout (1.2-3.1g). It was
found in experiments with A. salmonicida that fish infected by bath immersion became
infectious at 4...
Of 109 aquatic birnaviruses (AB) belonging to 9 serogroup A, all replicated and produced rapid and extensive cytopathology in CHSE-214 and RTG-2 cells, whereas only half produced significant levels of cytopathological effect (CPE) in two nonsalmonid cell lines tested (EPC and FHM). In many instances it was found that although...
Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is a proliferative cell disorder that occurs in the
circulatory system of bivalves. The condition is progressive and lethal. At least 15
species of bivalves over a wide range of geographic locations have been reported to
contract DN. Prevalence levels of disseminated neoplasia can reach up to...
