| 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 |
| genetic and antigenic analysis of betanodaviruses isolated from aquatic organisms in taiwan. | viral nervous necrosis (vnn) is a worldwide disease among marine fishes. in taiwan, nnn disease was first identified in 2 species of hatchery-reared grouper, epinephelus fuscogutatus and e. akaaya in 1994. since then, increasing mortalities have occurred among groupers epinephelus spp., and also among european eels anguilla anguilla l., yellow-wax pompano trachinotus falcatus, firespot snapper lutaanus erythropterus b., barramundi lates calcarifer, cobias rachycentron canadum, humpback groupers ... | 2003 | 13677508 |
| divergence between asian, european and canadian populations of the monogenean pseudodactylogyrus bini indicated by ribosomal dna patterns. | the monogenean pseudodactylogyrus bini parasitizes the gills of eels belonging to the genus anguilla. circumstantial evidence suggests that the parasite has been spread accidentally from the pacific area (east asia) to europe by the intercontinental eel trade. this is based on early descriptions of the parasites from asian regions and the lack of records of the parasites in europe before 1977. in addition, the susceptibility of european eels to infections with the parasite is significantly highe ... | 2010 | 20230654 |
