Description
So-Won Choi and five co-authors traced in 2026 how a virus of spleen and kidney spreads among angelfish. The virus hits both ornamental and farmed fish and lingers in water. Fish were exposed by immersion at set doses, and the team tracked deaths, virus levels, and tissue damage over time.
At the top dose, deaths reached ninety-five percent, and infection took hold even at low doses. Virus levels peaked seven days after exposure, matching the worst organ damage. The team then tested how spread depends on the stage of infection, key knowledge for quarantine timing in fish trade.
