Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) is a member of the only species in the genus Tungrovirus. RTBV is transmitted by leafhoppers in the genera Nephotettix and Recilia. (ICTV, 2024. Family: Caulimoviridae Genus: Tungrovirus https://ictv.global/report/chapter-caulimoviridae/tungrovirus)
Channel catfish virus disease occurs in fry and fingerlings less than a year old and less than 6 inches long, both in the hatchery and in ponds. The first sign is a slowing of feeding activity. Fish may be seen swimming erratically, often in an aimless spiral pattern. (USDA, Southern Regional Aquaculture Center, 2004. Channel Catfish Virus Disease SRAC Publication No. 4702 http://fisheries.tamu.edu/files/2013/09/SRAC-Publication-No.-4702-Channel-Catfish-Virus-Disease.pdfhttp://fisheries.tamu.edu/files/2013/09/SRAC-Publication-No.-4702-Channel-Catfish-Virus-Disease.pdf)
