This study is mainly focus on capacity building in understanding differences in virulence between historical and newer isolates as a mean to manage infectious salmon anemia disease in salmon.

The project is aimed at generating new knowledge for monitoring disease spread between farmed cod, other farmed fish and wild marine species, which will provide new knowledge for farmers and food safety authority to make decisions on disease transmission within and between existing cod aquaculture farms.
