| Abstract: | European catfish (Silurus glanis) fingerlings (2 to 4 g each) were tested for susceptibility to channel catfish virus (CCV). They had supported CCV replication at 2 days after intraperitoneal injection with 0.1 ml of saline containing 105 TCID50. Homogenized visceral organs (liver, kidney and spleen) contained 104 TCID50/0.1 ml at 2 days post inoculation (PI) but at 4 days the titer decreased to 101 TCID50. Bathing European catfish in CCV yielded only one positive sample with à titer of 100.83 TCID50 per 0.1 ml of tissue. No clinical signs of CCV developed and no virus related deaths occurred. |
