Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Lyophilized qPCR Overview Flavobacterium psychrophilum is a Gram-negative psychrophilic bacterium causing Bacterial Cold Water Disease (BCWD) and Rainbow Trout Fry Syndrome in many salmonids. The disease chiefly affects young fish in freshwater (temperatures <15 °C), where lesions such as fin erosion, skin ulceration, mouth deformities, and internal organ damage lead to high mortality and […]

Salmon Gill Poxvirus (SGPV), Lyophilized qPCR Overview Salmon Gill Poxvirus (SGPV) is a large DNA virus that specifically infects the gills of Atlantic salmon, causing Salmon Gill Poxvirus Disease (SGPVD). Clinical signs include severe gill epithelial cell necrosis/hyperplasia, respiratory distress, lethargy, and elevated mortalities in smolt or seawater-transferred salmon. This pathogen poses an increasing concern

Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS), caused by VHSV (genus Novirhabdovirus, family Rhabdoviridae), is one of the most severe viral diseases in fish globally, affecting more than 80 (even 140+) species in freshwater and marine systems. The disease features haemorrhages in internal organs, muscle and skin, abnormal swimming behaviour,

Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) is a pathogenic rhabdovirus (Family Rhabdoviridae, genus Novirhabdovirus) affecting salmonid fry and juveniles in freshwater and early marine phases. Infected fish may show darkened colour, exophthalmia (bulging eyes), pale gills (anaemia), hemorrhages on skin and fins, and high mortality, especially under stress

Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV) is a dsRNA virus (Family Reoviridae, genus Orthoreovirus) that infects salmonids (e.g., Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout) and is associated with Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation (HSMI) and other conditions. In Atlantic salmon, PRV infection commonly occurs post seawater-transfer and may lead to inflammation of heart and

Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) is a serious, immunologically and economically significant disease caused by the orthomyxovirus ISAV in Atlantic salmon, and occasionally in other salmonids. The virus can induce severe anaemia, hemorrhages (internal and external), ascites, swollen liver/spleen, and high mortalities in marine cage production. Because of

Piscine Myocarditis Virus (PMCV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Piscine Myocarditis Virus (PMCV) is the causative agent of Cardiomyopathy Syndrome (CMS) in farmed Atlantic salmon, especially in the marine grow-out phase. PMCV is a double-stranded RNA virus (provisionally of the Totiviridae family) that causes severe inflammation and necrosis of the heart muscle (ventricle) leading to ascites (fluid

Salmonid Alphavirus (SAV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Salmonid Alphavirus (SAV) is an enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus (Family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus) responsible for the disease commonly called Pancreas Disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon and “Sleeping Disease” in rainbow trout. It is particularly important in European aquaculture, with different genotypes (SAV1-6) causing outbreaks. Clinically, the disease involves inflammation

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV), Lyophilized RT-qPCR Overview Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting primarily young salmonids (such as Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout) during the fry and post-smolt stages, though adult fish may carry the virus asymptomatically. The causative agent IPNV is a bi-segmented double-stranded RNA virus (Family Birnaviridae)
