The disease strategy manual for VER reviews the relevant scientific literature on an economically important aquatic viral disease. A description of the disease with special emphasis on Australian fin fish species reveals significant disease in farmed barramundi and significant potential for disease in species such as grouper and striped trumpeter with farming potential.

The general principals of control and eradication are reviewed. Various strategies outlined in the manual will enhance the capabilities of industry and government to quickly and effectively respond to outbreaks of VER.

In the May 2000 Budget, the Federal Government announced its Building a National Approach to Animal and Plant Health program. This initiative seeks to maintain Australia’s status as a sought after supplier of high quality, ‘clean, green’ agricultural produce. Within this initiative, funds were made available to Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry – Australia (AFFA) as administered funds for the Program Emergency Management Planning for aquatic animal diseases. As per an Agreement between AFFA and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC), these monies are administered by the FRDC on AFFA’s behalf. The FRDC’s vehicle for delivery is the FRDC Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram. 

During December 2001 and January 2002, stakeholders from industry and governments in Australia nominated their priorities for projects under this Program. On 15 February 2002, the Subprogram’s Steering Committee and Scientific Advisory Committee met to evaluate the nominations. Through this process, the Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (VHS) – Disease Strategy Manual was approved as a priority. This Manual is one of a total of nine disease strategy and Operational manuals approved as priorities through this process.

These Manuals will form part of a series that are being developed under Australia’s National Strategic Plan for Aquatic Animal Health (AQUAPLAN) and collectively will be known as AQUAVETPLAN.
