      <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 ...

      <p><i>Nucleospora cyclopteri</i> (Microsporidia) is one of many parasites infecting lumpfish, <i>Cyclopterus lumpus</i>, and has been shown to cause disease and mortality in lumpfish. Infections in fish are often multifactorial and the impact of one agent on the development of disease can be difficult to elucidate. In addition to mortality, infections in lumpfish can lead to diseases with subsequently ...
