Molecular Diagnosis of Infectious Salmon Anaemia

  • Chapter
Molecular Diagnosis of Salmonid Diseases

Part of the book series: Reviews: Methods and Technologies in Fish Biology and Fisheries ((REME,volume 3))

Abstract

Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is a viral disease of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae). The disease has caused considerable economic loss to the Atlantic salmon farming industry. Initially, ISA was reported to occur in Norway, and for more than ten years the disease was only recognised in this country. Infectious salmon anaemia was recognised by the OIE in 1990 and the disease is listed in the OIE International Aquatic Animal Health Code (Office International des Epizooties (OIE), 1997b) and Diagnostic Manual for Aquatic Animal Diseases (Office International des Epizooties (OIE), 1997a) as one of the “Other significant diseases”. In European Union Directive 93/53/EEC the disease is classified on “the green list” as an exotic disease.
