| Research Abstract |
Oncorhynchus masouvirus(OMV) disease is a hepatitic, oncogenic and skin ulcerative condition of national and international socio-economic importance. The OMV genome sequences of three strains including the high virulent strain against rainbow trout revealed about 160 kbp genome composed of a unique long sequence, and a unique short fragment flanked by inverted repeats. ORFs involved in pathogenicity or oncogenicity were found in OMV genome. Furthermore an effective vaccine was developed in which relative percent survival(RPS) reached 74%.
