| susceptibility of australian redfin perch perca fluviatilis experimentally challenged with epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus (ehnv). | the ranavirus epizootic hematopoietic necrosis virus (ehnv) is endemic to australia and is listed by the office international des epizooties. clinical outbreaks have only been observed in wild populations of redfin perch perca fluviatilis (also known as eurasian perch) and farmed populations of rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss. the initial outbreaks of ehnv describe all age-classes of redfin perch as being susceptible and can lead to epidemic fish kills. subsequently, experimental challenge stu ... | 2016 | 27229663 |
| further observations on the epidemiology and spread of epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (ehnv) in farmed rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss in southeastern australia and a recommended sampling strategy for surveillance. | epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (ehnv) is an iridovirus confined to australia and is known only from rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss and redfin perch perca fluviatilis. outbreaks of disease caused by ehnv in trout populations have invariably been of low severity, affecting only 0+ post-hatchery phase fingerlings < 125 mm in length. to date the virus has been demonstrated in very few live in-contact fish, and anti-ehnv antibodies have not been found in survivors of outbreaks, suggesting ... | 1999 | 10092975 |
| experimental challenge and clinical cases of bohle iridovirus (biv) in native australian anurans. | ranaviruses have been observed with increasing frequency amongst poikilothermic vertebrate hosts. the impact of ranaviruses upon amphibian populations has remained largely unknown. a gene probe for bohle iridovirus (biv) based upon primers designed to detect epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (ehnv) was constructed. a pcr and dot-blot system was used successfully in screening for the presence of biv nucleic acid in digested formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded amphibian tissues. juvenile frogs ... | 2002 | 12078986 |
