Cover Story: Juvenile muskellunge are highly susceptible to the Great Lakes strain of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV-IVb). Experimentally infected juvenile muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) were challenged with VHSV-IVb at high, medium, and low doses. Samples of spleen, kidney, heart, liver, gills, pectoral fin, large intestine, and skin/muscle were collected at various time points. Infectious virus levels were highest in liver, heart, and skin/muscle samples. Reduced virus recovery was noted in kidney and spleen samples. Cardiac myocytes, hepatocytes, endothelium, smooth muscle cells, and pectoral fin fibroblast-like cells demonstrated riboprobe labeling by in situ hybridization overlaid in areas of necrosis and degeneration establishing the broad cellular tropism of VHSV-IVb. These results augment our understanding of VHSV-IVb pathogenesis and provide insight to alternate diagnostic samples. View this paper
