Involvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis Involvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis

Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus myluss leucocytes were tested for their ability to support replication of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Viral replication occurred in vitro uslng leucocytes cultured from peripheral blood, kidney, and thymus where viral titers peaked at 2 to 4 d post-inoculation. Leucocytes collected from trout following waterborne challenge with IHNV were...

Assessing smoltification of juvenile spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha using changes in body morphology Assessing smoltification of juvenile spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha using changes in body morphology

A morphometric measure of smoltification of juvenile spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was developed and evaluated. Fish were collected from hatcheries in Washington and Idaho prior to release and at McNary Dam on the Columbia River during their downstream migration. Distances between 15 anatomical landmarks were digitized from photographs of each fish resulting in 34...

The genetic diversity and epizootiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus The genetic diversity and epizootiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a rhabdovirus which causes a serious disease in salmondd fish. The T1 ribonuclease fingerprinttin method was used to compare the RNA genomes of 26 isolates of IHNV recovered from sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and steelhead trout (O. mykiss) throughout the enzootic portion of western North America...
