Summary

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) represents one of the most critical challenges for salmonids in the Pacific Northwest. There are three genogroups of IHNV, designated U, M, and L; the U is further delineated into two subgroups, UC and UP, and the M is further delineated into four subgroups (MA – MD). The UP, UC and MD subgroups co-occur in the Columbia River Basin where the host species sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout spawn and rear. Field prevalence data shows that UC viruses exhibit a generalist strategy in Chinook, and steelhead, while two other virus lineages, MD and UP, are more consistent with being specialists in steelhead or sockeye salmon, respectively. The L is found in Northern California [...]
