... Viral Nervous Necrosis is a virus with an RNA genome belonging to the genus Betanodavirus, of the family Nodaviridae, which includes viruses that infect fishes and insects. This virus causes the disease, known as viral nerve necrosis (VNN: Viral Nervous Necrosis), also called viral encephalitis of fish or viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER: Viral Encephalopathy and Retinopathy), which mainly affects larvae and fingerlings of marine species, among which include groupes, cod ans sea bass. However, this virus has been identified in dozens of different fish species throughout the world, both in populations of aquaculture industry species in marine farms, and in wild species. 3, record 1, English, - tiger%20puffer%20nervous%20necrosis%20virus

Esta enfermedad [encelopatía y rentinopatía viral de los peces], también conocida como Necrosis Nerviosa Viral (VNN), se considera una enfermedad grave de varias especies de peces marinos, caracterizada por importantes pérdidas asociadas a lesiones de vacuolización del sistema nervioso central y de la retina. El agente causal de la Encefalopatía y Retinopatía Viral (ERV) se identificó por primera vez como nuevo miembro de la familia Nodaviridae a partir de tejido encefálico de larvas de jurel dentón en 1992; en la actualidad, se clasifica este virus en el género Betanodavirus que son virus sin envoltura y esféricos, de unos 25 nm de diámetro. 1, record 1, Spanish, - encefalopat%C3%ADa%20y%20retinopat%C3%ADa%20viral%20de%20los%20peces
