      Aquatic diagnostics in action: a novel discovery in the Zebrafish

      Through a collaborative effort, we recently discovered the first novel viral infection in zebrafish — "A highly
      divergent picornavirus infecting the gut epithelia of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in research institutions worldwide."

      Initial screens of zebrafish samples from institutions in North America, Europe, and Asia show that Zebrafish
      picornavirus is widespread and revealed a prevalence of about 22%.

      Learn about the impact and detection of the Zebrafish picornavirus (ZfPV1):

      Since it is important to know what infectious agents are present in research colonies, we have developed a PCR assay for detection of ZfPV1 that is now available at IDEXX BioAnalytics.
