Characterization of a megalocytivirus from cultured rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus (Temminck & Schlege), in China
Megalocytivirus belongs to the Iridoviridae family and is known to affect finfish. Megalocytivirus epizootics have been reported to occur in several cultured fish species in China; however, no megalocytivirus associated with rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus (Temminck & Schlege), has been docume...
