Immune Response of Senegalese Sole against Betanodavirus Mutants with Modified Virulence

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), genus <i>Betanodavirus</i>, the etiological agent of the viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), presents a genome with two positive-sense single-stranded RNA segments. Striped jack nervous necrosis virus (SJNNV) and red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis...
