Characterization of a Novel Picornavirus Isolate from a Diseased European Eel ( Anguilla anguilla )
ABSTRACT A novel picornavirus was isolated from specimens of a diseased European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ). This virus induced a cytopathic effect in eel embryonic kidney cells and high mortality in a controlled transmission study using elvers. Eel picornavirus has a genome of 7,496 nucleotides that...

Summary: | ABSTRACT A novel picornavirus was isolated from specimens of a diseased European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ). This virus induced a cytopathic effect in eel embryonic kidney cells and high mortality in a controlled transmission study using elvers. Eel picornavirus has a genome of 7,496 nucleotides that encodes a polyprotein of 2,259 amino acids. It has a typical picornavirus genome layout, but its low similarity to known viral proteins suggests a novel species in the family Picornaviridae . |
