In this review, a survey is made of the published literature on the viral diseases of fish available up to and including the year 1978. It is divided into two main sections. Part 1 describes 11 diseases where a virus has been isolated and proven to be the causative agent. Part 2 discusses 16 diseases where there is reason to suspect viral etiology because of evidence deriving from electron microscopy or transmission experiments with bacteria-free filtrates of homogenates of diseased tissue, but where final proof of a causative relationship is lacking. The review attempts to provide the most significant information on the disease process itself, in most cases including external signs, fish species susceptible, pathology, geographic distribution, existence of carriers, methods of transmission, and control. It also gives the most recent and significant data concerning the nature of the causative virus, including its cultural, biological, and physicochemical properties, where such information is available.
