Bioluminescence Imaging of Live Infected Salmonids Reveals that the Fin Bases Are the Major Portal of Entry for Novirhabdovirus
14 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Although Novirhabdovirus viruses, like the Infectious hematopietic necrosis virus (IHNV), have been extensively studied, limited knowledge exists on the route of IHNV entry during natural infection. A recombinant IHNV (rIHNV) expressing the Renilla luciferase gene was generated and used to infect trout. A noninvasive bioluminescence assay was developed so that virus replication in live fish could be followed...
