Transcriptomic and biometric parameters analysis in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) challenged with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a highly pathogenic virus that poses a significant threat to the health of diverse marine species. Among these, trout species, particularly rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), are highly susceptible. This study evaluated the effects of VHSV infection on the biometric traits of rainbow trout and investigated the molecular mechanisms associated with the disease.

Results

Biometric traits of fish were collected and documented weekly during the fourth and fifth weeks of the experiment. A statistically significant difference in body weight was observed in the fifth week, particularly between the control group and the groups injected with either physiological saline or the virus. Additionally, body length-related attributes s
