Lymphocystis virus: Isolation and propagation in centrarchid fish cell lines

February 25, 1966

A virus from fish with lymphocystis disease was isolated in fish cell cultures. Eleven serial transfers were made and the pathognomonic lymphocystis cells were produced in vitro in each transfer. Fish inoculated with 6th- and 9th-passage material developed the disease, and virus was reisolated from them.
