Erythrocytic inclusions in the blood of spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) are the first confirmed occurrence of a natural infection caused by an erythrocytic necrosis virus in a population being reared in freshwater.

The viral particle size averaged 75 nm in diameter, and they were scattered randomly in the cytoplasm.
