Identification and characterization of a novel orthoreovirus from American eels, <i>Anguilla rostrata</i>
family. Although experimental challenges with AORV did not result in observable pathogenicity, epidemiological surveys indicated that approximately one-third of the farmed American eels displaying clinical signs of "hemorrhagic gill necrosis disease" tested positive for the virus, suggesting that AORV may be secondary to another primary pathogen or environmental stressor.
