Abstract
- Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is an important viral disease of salmonids. In the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) an etiological agent, a birnavirus causes a lethal disease in fry and fingerling. Survivors act as asymptomatic carriers at other life stages, which may shed the etiologic agent, or transmit it vertically to their progeny. Diagnosis of IPN-diseased and detection of infected trouts are important for controlling the spread of the virus. The IPN is worldwide distributed, being recently identified in Mexico. In the present paper the epizootiology, prevention and control of this disease are reviewed in an exhaustive and systematical manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
