| isolation of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus from muskellunge, esox masquinongy (mitchill), in lake st clair, michigan, usa reveals a new sublineage of the north american genotype. | viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (vhsv) was isolated from muskellunge, esox masquinongy (mitchill), caught from the nw portion of lake st clair, michigan, usa in 2003. affected fish exhibited congestion of internal organs; the inner wall of the swim bladder was thickened and contained numerous budding, fluid-filled vesicles. a virus was isolated using fish cell lines inoculated with a homogenate of kidney and spleen tissues from affected fish. focal areas of cell rounding and granulation app ... | 2006 | 17026670 |
| detection of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (vhsv) from diporeia spp. (pontoporeiidae, amphipoda) in the laurentian great lakes, usa. | the mode of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (vhsv) transmission in the great lakes basin is largely unknown. in order to assess the potential role of macroinvertebrates in vhsv transmission, diporeia spp., a group of amphipods that are preyed upon by a number of susceptible great lakes fishes, were collected from seven locations in four of the great lakes and analyzed for the presence of vhsv. it was demonstrated that vhsv is present in some diporeia spp. samples collected from lakes ontario, ... | 2011 | 21210995 |
