Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) has been assigned to a newly established Aquareovirus genus in the family of Reoviridae which leads to haemorrhagic disease and extremely high mortality rate in grass carp. In this study, comparison was made between the novel one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)...

The susceptibility of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) to an Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) pathogenic isolate of infectious salmon anaemia was investigated. No mortality or clinical signs of infectious salmon anaemia disease were recorded in either species following experimental challenge via intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection or cohabitation with i.p....
