Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus genogroup‐specific virulence mechanisms in sockeye salmon, <i>Oncorhynchus nerka</i> (Walbaum), from Redfish Lake, Idaho
22 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Characterization of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) field isolates from North America has established three main genogroups (U, M and L) that differ in host-specific virulence. In sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, the U genogroup is highly virulent, whereas the M genogroup is nearly non-pathogenic. In this study, we sought to characterize the virus-host dynamics that contribute to...
