TL;DR: The identification of the causative agent for CMS is important for improved disease surveillance and disease control and will serve as a basis for vaccine development against the disease.

TL;DR: This study presents the characterization of the ISAV 50-kDa glycoprotein encoded by segment 5, here termed the viral membrane fusion protein (F), the first description of a separate orthomyxovirus F protein, and to the authors' knowledge, the first pH-dependent separate viral F protein described.

TL;DR: The genomic segment encoding the putative hemagglutinin of infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) demonstrated hemadsorptive properties of the protein for salmon erythrocytes and was recognized by an ISAV-specific monoclonal antibody.

TL;DR: Novel observations on the distribution of CD8 labelled cell populations in Atlantic salmon including the description of significant mucosal populations in the gills support the early mobilisation of cellular immunity in the response of Atlantic salmon to ISAV infection.

TL;DR: Five different plasmids that expressed whole or parts of the large open reading frames of Segment A of the IPN virus (IPNV) were constructed and shown to express proteins in cell cultures and in zebrafish Danio rerio in vivo.
