  • Title: Persistence of herpesvirus of eel Herpesvirus anguillae in farmed European eel Anguilla anguilla.
    Author: van Nieuwstadt AP, Dijkstra SG, Haenen OL.
    Journal: Dis Aquat Organ; 2001 Jun 20; 45(2):103-7. PubMed ID: 11463096.
    Abstract:
    Herpesvirus of eel Herpesvirus anguillae (HVA) was isolated repeatedly from farmed eel of an outwardly healthy stock, but virus isolation was much greater in an experimental group of fish that were injected with dexamethasone. The results suggest that HVA can establish a latent infection in eel. Previous exposure of these eels to HVA virus was shown by detection of HVA-specific antibodies. These eels did not show clinical signs after a secondary infection with HVA. Tracing of seropositive eel stocks, which had previous contact with HVA, and of HVA carrier fish can be useful to control disease outbreaks due to HVA infection.
