A rapid virus detection method was developed for Infectious Hemotopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV). The virus detection method could be applied to Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) under certain conditions. It was possible to detect IHNV to a lower limit of 1.7 X 10⁴ Tissue Culture Infectious Dose for 50% (TCID₅₀)...
Due to the presence of the earth's ozone layer, radiation of
the shorter solar wavelengths is reduced during penetration of the
atmosphere. Increases in chlorofluoromethanes and nitrogen oxides
may significantly decrease the ozone concentration, resulting in
shorter wavelength penetration, most notably UV-B (290-320 nm)
radiation. Various studies have found UV-B...
