Special Issue Information
Several of the most important fish viral diseases, such as viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS), infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), and pancreas disease (PD) or sleeping disease were first recorded, and their causative agents characterized, in European countries. In addition, new viral agents, affecting mainly Atlantic salmon, but also other fish species, have been reported in Europe in recent years. Moreover, since research into fish virology began in the 1950s a large number of European research groups have focused on the study of different fish viruses and the European contribution to the present bulk of knowledge on fish viral diseases and host-virus interaction is renowned. Similarly, some European groups have highlighted the role of some viral agents in the decline of endangered fish species such as European eels. Finally, the European Union (EU) has pioneered the implementation of a risk-based surveillance programme for EU member states to avoid the extension, or introduction, of fish viral diseases. For all these reasons, this Special Issue is devoted to the “State-of-the-art findings in fish viruses in Europe” and welcomes all contributions (research articles, communications, or reviews) focused on any aspect of current European research into fish viral diseases.
