Molecular characterization of Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) and its pathogenesis in salmonids
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is a virus of salmonid fish. PRV has been associated with different diseases in various salmonid fish species, including heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in Atlantic salmon and more recently a disease resembling HSMI in rainbow trout. In general, PRV appears...
