Inhibitory activity of (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine on the salmonid herpesviruses, Oncorhynchus masou virus (OMV) and Herpesvirus salmonis.

The highly potent and selective anti-herpesvirus agent, (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'deoxyuridine (BVdU), was examined for its inhibitory effect on the salmonid herpesviruses Oncorhynchus masou virus (OMV) and Herpesvirus salmonis (H. salmonis). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of BVdU for OMV and H. salmonis were 1.25 and 3.0 micrograms/ml, respectively; these values were equal to or higher t...

Occurrence and significance of atypical Aeromonas salmonicida in non-salmonid and salmonid fish species: a review.

Bacterial strains of Aeromonas salmonicida included in the recognized subsp. acromogenes, subsp. masoucida, and subsp. smithia in addition to the large number of strains not included in any of the described subspecies are referred to as atypical A. salmonicida. The atypical strains form a very heterogeneous group with respect to biochemical characteristics, growth conditions, and production of ...

Review Cryptobia (Trypanoplasma) salmositica and salmonid cryptobiosis

Salmonid cryptobiosis is caused by Cryptobia (Trypanoplasma) salmositica. The haemoflagellate has been reported from all species of Pacific Oncorhynchus spp. on the west coast of North America. It is normally transmitted by the freshwater leech, Piscicola salmositica, in streams and rivers, and sculpins, Cottus spp., are considered important reservoir hosts. The pathogen can also survive on the...
