AB  - Virus diseases of fish can seriously impair the economy of aquacultur. Control 
      and prevention of fish diseases in the European Union (EU) are focussed on the 
      viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and the infectious haematopoeitic necrosis 
      (IHN). The diagnosis of VHS and IHN is performed in the Federal Republic of 
      Germany (FRG) on the basis of the legislation of the EU. Since 1994 we received 
      an increasing number of VHS virus (VHSV) isolates which did not react with a 
      commercially available anti-VHSV monoclonal antibody (MAb) in the indirect immuno 
      fluorescence test. With our own MAb ID8, however, as well as with additional 
      diagnostic methods these virus isolates could be identified. These isolates of 
      rainbow trouts were designated as VHSV type "Wi". Electron microscopically all 
      stages of rhabdovirus maturation could be detected. Morphologically the isolates 
      were undistinguishable from other rhabdoviruses. By immuno electron microscopy 
      using the MAb ID8 rhabdovirus nucleocapsid structures were demonstrated. The 
      virulence of the new VHSV type Wi was not different from that of a VHSV isolate 
      with conventional reaction patterns as well as of a VHSV laboratory strain.
