Abstract excerpt
Lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) is the causative agent of lymphocystis disease. In this study, the mcp gene of LCDV and the cyt b gene of the host fish were selected as molecular markers, and the phylogenetic relationships between LCDV and its host were analyzed. The 25 LCDV isolates examined in this study were attributed to seven LCDV genotypes: genotype I (LCDV-1), genotype II (LCDV-cn, etc.), genotype III...
