Emergence of tilapia lake virus in Thailand and an alternative semi-nested RT-PCR for detection
2017-07-01
Abstract excerpt
The present study reports outbreaks of tilapia lake virus (TiLV), an emerging pathogen causing syncytial hepatitis of tilapia (SHT), in farmed tilapia in Thailand. Occurrence of the virus was confirmed by RT-PCR and nucleotide sequence homology to the TiLV from Israel. Diseased fish exhibited typical histopathological features of syncytial giant cells in the liver examined through H&E and semi-thin sections. Prese...
