Abstract

Abstract. Six isolates of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were obtained from trout or eel farms in Taiwan in 1987. By using the electrophoretic analysis of 35S‐methionine‐labelled early viral polypeptide patterns and silver‐stained ds RNA gel patterns, a comparison of these isolates with the three archetypal IPNV serotypes (AB, SP and VR‐299) was made. They were all identical with VR‐299, both in the RNA and early viral polypeptide patterns. From the results obtained, it was apparent that the VR‐299 serotype of IPNV was just as widespread in eel as in trout in Taiwan. This is the first case of VR‐299 isolation from eel.
