Cross Injection of salmon and trout with Pancrease Disease Virus (PDV) and Sleeping Disease Virus (SDV)
12 June 2003
Pancrease diseasevirus (PDF) isolated from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and sleeping disease virus (SDV) isolated from rainbow trouw (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are both characterised as Alpha viruses. Similar histopathological changes in respective hosts caused by respective viruses have been reported from the field and close serological and genetical relation between the two virus isolates have been documented. To further examine the relation between the two virus isolates both species have been injected with each virus isolate under identical experimental conditions.
