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.
