Viral Nervous Necrosis due to Betanodavirus: A Case Study in Pot‐Bellied Seahorses (<i>Hippocampus abdominals</i>) Open
Betanodaviruses, members of the Nodaviridae family, are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis in fish, resulting in great economic losses worldwide. This is the first case study describing the detection and confirmation of viral n…

Performance characteristics of two real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of WSSV in clinically diseased and apparently healthy prawns Open
This study aimed to generate data on performance characteristics for 2 real-time TaqMan PCR assays (CSIRO and WOAH WSSV qPCRs) for the purposes of (1) detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in clinically diseased prawns and (2) dete…

Development of a new real-time PCR for the detection of pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV) in apparently healthy fish Open
Pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV) is a virus of concern to the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry in Tasmania. First isolated from wild pilchards in southern Australia in 1998, the virus is now a recognised pathogen of farmed Atlantic salmo…

Isolation and characterisation of an ISKNV-genotype megalocytivirus from imported angelfish Pterophyllum scalare Open
Using cultures of the SKF-9 cell line, megalocytivirus AFIV-16 was isolated from imported angelfish Pterophyllum scalare held in quarantine at the Australian border. The cytopathic effect caused by isolate AFIV-16 presented as cell roundin…

Pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV). I. Characterisation of an emerging virus isolated from pilchards Sardinops sagax and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar Open
An orthomyxo-like virus was first isolated in 1998 as an incidental discovery from pilchards Sardinops sagax collected from waters off the South Australian coast. In the following 2 decades, orthomyxo-like viruses have been isolated from h…
