Abstract excerpt
Infectious pancreatic necrosis viruses (IPNVs) belonging to the family Birnaviridae display a high degree of antigenic variability, pathogenicity, and differences in outbreak mortality in salmonid species. To determine if virus isolates of Sp serotype differ in virulence, fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) were challenged with nine different field strains. These viruses caused either high mortality and...
