This project was carried out by scientists from AAHL CSIRO (Dr Serge Corbeil) and from LaTrobe
University (Drs Karla Helbig and Subir Sarker). After discovering the existence of an abalone species
(Päua - Haliotis iris) resistant to AVG our research team based in Geelong and Melbourne...
This research sought to build on the experimental evidence regarding non-target species susceptibility to CyHV-3. Three species which had been previously tested, but for which additional evidence would be needed to confirm non-susceptibility included Rainbow Trout, Silver Perch and Murray Cod.
This project, undertaken by CSIRO, aimed to determine the most important form of transmission of CyHV-3 to Cyprinus carpio (common carp). This was addressed through experiments to determine:
(1) The relative amounts of virus in the skin and mucus of infected fish vs shed...
Design and reporting quality are important parameters for assessing aquatic animal studies on diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity however standards for experimental design are lacking. As part of this study, design guidelines to improve the quality of published studies on test specificity...
The following two projects were selected by the FRDC for ex-post cost/benefit analysis:
1993-128: Development of molecular probes for use in bacterial disease diagnosis and health monitoring of farmed wild finfish in Australia undertaken by the Department of Primary Industries, Tasmania.
1995-060:...
