A New Lineage of Perch Rhabdovirus Associated with Mortalities of Farmed Perch [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 A perhabdovirus was isolated from a mortality episode affecting a fish farm in 2019 in Western Europe. This virus was produced in cell culture and was readily detected by a species-specific real-time PCR assay. The near-complete sequence of the virus obtained showed some relatedness with viruses of the species Perhabdovirus perca.
