Abstrakt: The article presents sequence data from nested polymerase chain reaction products of 3 aquabirnaviruses (ABV) strains obtained from different species of asymptomatic aquarium fish collected from a private commercial aquarium in Korea. The researchers concluded the subclinically infected fish may be a source of MABV infection for other fish species inside the aquarium. Based on their findings, the researchers call for the establishment of quarantine practices.
