CORRELATIONS BETWEEN HEMORRHAGIC SEPTICEMIA ORGANISMS

Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is an acute to chronic viral disease of salmonids that causes serious economic problems in rainbow trout cultured in several European countries. Although this disease has not been detected in North America, it is included here as a disease of significant concern. The disease was first recognized by Schaeperclaus in Germany in 1938. In 1949, the disease was nam...

Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia of Fishes

Shipping Fever, or Hemorrhagic Septicemia

THE AUTHOR calls this the most serious of a group of cattle maladies that are commonly associated with the hardships and hazards of shipping—that is, the handling, neglect, or exposure of animals in transit or shortly afterward. It is an infectious disease which often terminates in death. The losses from shipping fever can be greatly reduced by careful management in shipping. Vaccination with b...

Risk-Based Management of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus in Minnesota

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV; strain VHSV-IVb) is an emergent and serious disease of fish in the Great Lakes region of North America. In addition to the numerous large-scale mortality events in wild fish, the emergence of VHSV has resulted in a major regulatory response to protect both farm-raised and wild fish populations. However, characterizing and mitigating risk factors for the...

A Survey of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) in Turkey

Existence of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) has been recently reported in Turkey. A total of 5967 marine and freshwater fish were sampled to detect VHSV between 2007 and 2009 in the Black Sea region of Turkey. Of the 5967 fish, five fish tested positive by PCR reactions of tissue filtrates and supernatants of cell cultures showing CPE indicated by a specific 587 bp fragments from the...
