Fish Diseases:
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS)
by Paul Bowser
Pages: 7
Publisher: --
Edition: NRAC Publication No. 201-2009
Language: English
ISBN: --
Description
Good article about viral hemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) in fish.
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) has been described as one of the most devastating fish diseases on a worldwide basis. VHS is caused by the Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV), a member of the virus family Rhabdoviridae. Rhabdoviruses are bullet-shaped viruses that contain a single-stranded RNA genome.
This is the same family of viruses that contains a distant relative to VHSV, the Rabies Virus. However, it is extremely important to realize that VHSV is a pathogen of fish and poses no health risk to humans.
