An oral nervous necrosis virus vaccine that induces protective immunity in larvae of grouper (Epinephelus coioides)

Abstract excerpt

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is a major viral pathogen that infects grouper and other fish at their larval stage. This infection often causes mortality rates higher than 99% and leads to total losses in the hatchery; hence, it is important to develop a preventive vaccine.
