Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a severe viral disease of salmonid fish. It is caused by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, which is a member of the Birnaviridae family. This disease mainly affects young salmonids such as trout or salmon of less than six months, although adult fish may carry the virus without showing symptoms. [1 ...
Infectious pancreatic necrosis disease virus (IPNV) causes infectious pancreatic necrosis disease (IPN) in fish – most disease has been documented in young, farmed salmonid fish. [9] Infectious pancreatic necrosis disease virus (IPNV) is a bi-segmented, double-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Aquabirnavirus subgroup of the Birnaviridae. [16]
Aquabirnavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Birnaviridae. [1] Salmonid fish serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus. A disease associated with this genus, Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in salmonid fish, causes significant losses to the aquaculture industry.
There are currently 11 species in this family, divided among seven genera. [2] Diseases associated with this family include infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish, which causes significant losses to the aquaculture industry, with chronic infection in adult salmonid fish and acute viral disease in young salmonid fish.

Fishpathogens.eu is a database created to store data on isolates of different fish pathogens and their sequences. The site was launched June 2009 with a database on Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus. [1] In spring 2010 the database was extended with a section on Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. [2]
It is not very well researched yet, but generally assumed to be caused by a bacterial infection. NHP mainly affects the farmed shrimp species Litopenaeus vannamei (Pacific white shrimp) and Litopenaeus stylirostris (western blue shrimp), but has also been reported in three other American species, namely Farfantepenaeus aztecus , Farfantepenaeus ...
Clinical symptoms of viral infection include external hemorrhaging, pale gills, and ascites. [3] In some cases, mortality can occur without any apparent clinical signs of the disease. [ 4 ] The virus has been found in high concentrations in the liver and kidney, but lower numbers of virions have been isolated from the spleen. [ 5 ]
Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a potentially fatal disease of some marine fish. It is caused by Neoparamoeba perurans, the most important amoeba in cultured fish.It primarily affects farm-raised fish of the family Salmonidae, most notably affecting the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) industry, costing the A$20 million a year in treatments and lost productivity.
