Dr. Richard Moccia: "Given the recent interest
in the occurrence of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV) in the Great
Lakes Basin, and the possible implications to farmed fish in Ontario and
elsewhere, I am attaching 4 reference documents to provide you with a general
overview of the disease, and some of the issues associated with it."
Documents to download:
VHSV F2905p19-23.pdf
VHSVRisksV3.pdf
viral_hemorrhagic_septicemia.pdf
vhs-factsheet[1small].pdf
"The documents are not exhaustive in any
way, but they are intended to help you get a quick understanding of the
virus which causes VHS, some of the clinical signs associated with VHS
disease in trout, as well as a little bit of information to give global
perspective. If you farm fish in Ontario, I encourage you to read
this stuff."
"We are currently discussing the possibility
of having an aqua-industry information session on the subject at the University
of Guelph. "
