Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) has been
described as one of the most devastating fish diseases on
a worldwide basis. VHS is caused by the Viral Hemorrhagic
Septicemia Virus (VHSV), a member of the virus
family Rhabdoviridae. Rhabdoviruses are bullet-shaped
viruses that contain a single-stranded RNA genome.
This is the same family of viruses that contains a distant
relative to VHSV, the Rabies Virus. However, it is
extremely important to realize that VHSV is a pathogen
of fish and poses no health risk to humans.
Historically, VHS has been known for many years
as a devastating disease of freshwater-reared rainbow
trout on the European continent. Disease events known
as early as the 1930’s were thought to have a viral cause
(a viral etiology), but it was not until the early 1960’s,
when the techniques of fish cell culture became available,
that the virus was cultured and proven to be the
