| isolation and molecular characterization of herpesvirus from cultured european eels anguilla anguilla in taiwan. | a herpesvirus has been isolated for the first time from a population of european eels anguilla anguilla cultured in a recirculated system in taiwan. syncytia formation was detected in ep-1 (eel epidermis) cell cultures inoculated with cell-free homogenates prepared from both integument and visceral organs of moribund fish. inoculation of homogenates onto ek (eel kidney) cell cultures induced giant cell formation. subsequent passages produced a consistent and progressive cytopathic effect (cpe) i ... | 2002 | 12180701 |
