Abstract

A disease persisting in Norwegian salmonid cultures since the late 1970s is caused by a Vibrio-like bacterium. This bacterium belongs to the genus Vibrio, but it differs from all previously described species of this genus. The name Vibrio salmonicida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain NCMB 2262 (= HI 7751).
