| morphogenesis of salmonid gill poxvirus associated with proliferative gill disease in farmed atlantic salmon (salmo salar) in norway. | proliferative gill disease (pgd) is an emerging problem in norwegian culture of atlantic salmon (salmo salar). parasites (ichthyobodo spp.) and bacteria (flexibacter/flavobacterium) may cause pgd, but for most cases of pgd in farmed salmon in norway, no specific pathogen has been identified as the causative agent. however, neoparamoeba sp. and several bacteria and viruses have been associated with this disease. in the spring of 2006, a new poxvirus, salmon gill poxvirus (sgpv), was discovered on ... | 2008 | 18521535 |
| characterization of a vhs virus genotype iii isolated from rainbow trout (oncorhychus mykiss) at a marine site on the west coast of norway. | norwegian production of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) has been without any outbreaks of vhs for many years until the disease emerged in a farm in western norway in november 2007. the fish were, in addition to vhs virus, positive for gill chlamydia-like bacteria, flavobacterium psychrophilum, and a microsporidian. a new vhs virus genotype iii was isolated from the fish in rtgill-w1 cells and the complete coding region (11,065 nucleotides) was sequenced. this virus was also used in a challen ... | 2010 | 20102597 |
