“…Although it appears that some of these calicivirus strains may be enzootic in several marine mammal species in the Arctic ecosystem, none of the bearded seals sampled displayed serological evidence of calicivirus infection, nor did bearded seals in other studies (Barlough et al 1987(Barlough et al , 1988.…”

Serum or heparinized plasma samples were obtained from 3 male (2 adult and 1 weaned calf) and 3 adult female free-ranging bearded seals Erignathus barbatus in May of 1994May of , 1995May of , or 1996. Blood samples were obtained from animals taken in subsistence hunts near St. Lawrence Island, Alaska and screened for antibodies to a suite of bacteria and viruses potentially pathogenic for pinnipeds and/or humans. No samples had detectable antibodies to Brucella spp., Phocine distemper virus, influenza A virus or caliciviruses (San Miguel sea lion virus strains 1, 2, and 4 to 13, vesicular exanthema of swine serotypes A48, B51, C52, D53, E54, F55, G55, H54, I55, J56, K54, 1934B, and Tillamook and Walrus calicivirus). One seal had a low titer of 100 to Leptospira interrogans serovar grippotyphosa. KEY WORDS: Leptospira interrogans

“…As well as crossing the land–sea interface these viruses cross species and class barriers (Smith et al., 1986a, 1998). Two serotypes (SMSV‐6 and SMSV‐7) detected in opaleye fish are neutralized by sera of California and Steller sea lions (Barlough et al., 1988). It has been shown that the SMSV‐5 serotype, which replicates in African green monkey cells (Vero cells), is able to infect fish, seals, mink, pigs and primates (Smith et al., 1980, 1986b).…”

Viruses of lower vertebrates recently became a field of interest to the public due to increasing epizootics and economic losses of poikilothermic animals. These were reported worldwide from both wildlife and collections of aquatic poikilothermic animals. Several RNA and DNA viruses infecting fish, amphibians and reptiles have been studied intensively during the last 20 years. Many of these viruses induce diseases resulting in important economic losses of lower vertebrates, especially in fish aquaculture. In addition, some of the DNA viruses seem to be emerging pathogens involved in the worldwide decline in wildlife. Irido-, herpes- and polyomavirus infections may be involved in the reduction in the numbers of endangered amphibian and reptile species. In this context the knowledge of several important RNA viruses such as orthomyxo-, paramyxo-, rhabdo-, retro-, corona-, calici-, toga-, picorna-, noda-, reo- and birnaviruses, and DNA viruses such as parvo-, irido-, herpes-, adeno-, polyoma- and poxviruses, is described in this review.

“…A non-tumour-associated calicivirus is the only known example of successful expression in different hosts, occurring in both marine fish and marine mammals (Smith et al 1986, Barlough et al 1988. Although this finding may seem surprising at first glance, it is likely to be explained by the phylogenetic position of the host system.…”

Skin tumours of fish are easily recognizable lesions, some of which have been known for centuries. Causes of fish tumour formation are varied and are often proposed to be multifactorial. In more than half of all cases examined by electron rnicroscopy and virological methods, virus or virus-hke particles were found in tumour tissues. So far, oncogenicity has been clearly demonstrated only for herpesviruses isolated from benign tumours. Classification of fish skin tumours, tumour-associated and turnour-inducing viruses, and the possible reasons for seasonal variation in slun tumour prevalence, are revlewed. It is postulated that fundamental principles determne the role of viruses in the induction of skin tumours of fish within a framework of different biological and environmental parameters.
