Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is an acute, contagious disease of trout fry
and fingerlings caused by viruses of the family birnaviridae. IPN disease usually results
in mortality that is inversely proportional to the age of the fish. While many studies
have been carried out to increase our understanding of IPN,...
DNA fragments of the gene for VP2, the major capsid protein of Infectious
Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV), were expressed in Escherichia coli and
characterized immunologically with antisera made to different serotypes of
IPNV. The entire VP2 gene was excised from the plasmid pUC19/A+SΔK and
fragmented with restriction enzyme Sau3A1. The...
The virulence of selected isolants of infectious hematopoietic
necrosis virus (IHNV) were differentiated and correlated with
electrophoretic mobilities of virion structural proteins by sodium
dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A type 1
electropherotype of IHNV was more virulent for kokanee salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) and a type 2 strain more virulent for...

The United States is the third-largest producer of raspberries in the world. Washington
State leads the nation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) production. 'Meeker', the
most grown red raspberry cultivar in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and
British Columbia, Canada) is highly susceptible to Raspberry crumbly fruit, a virusinduced...

Raspberries have been popular since the time of the ancient Greeks. Red raspberries are cultivated throughout the world, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. The raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) causes significant reduction in yield and crumbly fruit in raspberries, blackberries and raspberry-blackberry hybrids....
