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.
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...
