Deadly Fish Virus Now Found in all Great Lakes (Jan 27, 2010)
Cornell University.
Cornell researchers report that viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHS), a deadly fish virus, that was first discovered in the Northeast in 2005 has been found for the first time in fish from Lake Superior. That means that the virus has now been documented in all of the Great Lakes. On a worldwide basis, VHS is considered one of the most serious pathogens of fish, because it kills so many fish, is not treatable and infects a broad range of fish species.
