Objectives

1. Undertake molecular characterisation of a range of exotic and endemic A.salmonicida subspecies including correlation with biochemical, serological and pathogenic features.
2. Identify genus -, species - and subspecies-specific properties such as nucleotide sequences with potential for diagnostic use.
3. Develop diagnostic procedures using molecular technology.
4. Validation of molecular diagnostic procedures using experimental infections carried out in the microbiologically secure aquarium facility at AAHL.
5. Preliminary survey of wild and farmed papulations of fish and shellfish in S.E. Australia in collaboration with NSW, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria

Determining the susceptibility of Australian Penaeus monodon and Penaeus merguiensis to newly identified enzootic (YHV7) and exotic (YHV8 and YHV10) Yellow head virus (YHV) genotypes

In recent years, new genotypes within the yellow head complex of viruses have been discovered in farmed prawns both within Australia and overseas. This report describes research undertaken at the CSIRO Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness Fish Diseases Laboratory (ACDP AFDL), Geelong, Victoria...
