Scientific solutions to reduce the impact of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus on Great Lakes walleye

该提案的目的是提供立即可用的策略，以减少病毒性出血性败血症病毒（VHSV）的影响，同时在五大湖地区的一种非常有价值的商业物种--海象中产生新的工具和信息。VHSV长期以来一直与欧洲水产养殖业有关，但直到2005年春天在安大略发生淡水鼓中的大规模死亡事件时才在北美淡水中被认识到。随后，致病病毒被证明是一种新的VHSV毒株，与其他北美或欧洲毒株不同。2006/07年，几个物种的死亡事件仍在继续。这种病毒的发现对加拿大中部的渔业管理产生了直接影响。制定国际和国内法规以减缓传播

The purpose of this proposal is provide immediately usable strategies to reduce the impact of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) and at the same time generate novel tools and information in walleye, a highly valuable commercial species in the Great Lakes region. VHSV has long been associated with the European aquaculture industry but wasn't recognized in the freshwaters of North America until the spring of 2005 when a large-scale mortality event in freshwater drum occurred in Lake Ontario. Subsequently the causative virus was shown to be a novel strain of VHSV, unlike other North American or European strains. Mortality events in several species have continued in 2006/07. The discovery of this virus has had an immediate impact on fisheries management in central Canada. International and domestic regulations put in place to slow the spread
