Molecular characterization of the proteinase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus, a fish birnavirus

Creator:

Mason, Carla L.

Abstract:

The A segment of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is expressed as a polyprotein encoding three primary gene products, VP2, NS and VP3, from a large open reading frame. The nucleotide sequence for the A segment of the Sp isolate of IPNV was determined. The NS protein is the putative...

Pathogenic and molecular characterization of three closely related isolates of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV)

Creator:

Bruslind, Linda D.

Abstract:

Three closely related isolates belonging to the A₁ serotype of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were selected for comparison, to provide insight into the nature of variation in the virulence of IPN viruses. Brook trout fry (Salvelinus fontinalis) were experimentally infected with the three isolates by immersion. Cumulative mortalities over...
