      Salmonid red blood cells are the main target cells for <i>Piscine orthoreovirus</i> (PRV). Three genotypes of PRV (PRV-1,2,3) infect Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>), Chinook salmon (<i>Onchorhynchus tshawytscha</i>), Coho salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i>), rainbow trout (<i>Onchorhynchus mykiss</i>) and brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>), and can cause diseases like heart and skeletal muscle ...
    • Dissemination of Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1) in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) during the Early and Regenerating Phases of Infection

      <i>Piscine orthoreovirus-1</i> (PRV-1) can cause heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>), but the line of events from infection, pathologic change, and regeneration has not been thoroughly described. In this study, the cellular localization and variation of PRV-1 RNA and protein levels were analyzed at different times post-exposure in experimentally ...
    • Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV)-3, but Not PRV-2, Cross-Protects against PRV-1 and Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation in Atlantic Salmon 

      Malik, Muhammad Salman; Teige, Lena Hammerlund; Braaen, Stine; Olsen, Anne Berit; Nordberg, Monica; Amundsen, Marit; Kannimuthu, Dhamotharan; Svenning, Steingrim; Edholm, Eva-Stina Isabella; Takano, Tomokazu; Jørgensen, Jorunn; Wessel, Øystein; Rimstad, Espen; Dahle, Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-06)
      Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI), caused by infection with Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1), is a common disease in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Both an inactivated whole virus vaccine and a DNA vaccine have previously been tested experimentally against HSMI and demonstrated to give partial but not full protection. To understand the mechanisms involved in protection against HSMI ...
