Characterization of piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) and associated diseases to inform pathogen transfer risk assessments in British Columbia / Mark Polinski and Kyle Garver.: Fs70-5/2019-035E-PDF

"The information summarized in this document will assist in the environmental assessment of the risk to Fraser River Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) due to the occurrence of piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection on Atlantic Salmon farms located in the Discovery Islands area of British Columbia. This document is designed to be a focused consideration on PRV as a potential causative or contributing agent of disease in salmon of British Columbia which might be presumed to occur and putatively impact Fraser River Sockeye Salmon. As a consequence, this document concentrates on data pertinent to the transmission, pathogenicity (potential for causing disease) and virulence (potential for disease severity) of PRV to Sockeye Salmon occurring in the Discovery Islands area"--Introduction, page 1.
