Just got this from the Pacific Salmon Foundation:
"Good morning!
We wanted to let you know that PSF has just put out a media release regarding an important new study that shows PRV (Piscine orthoreovirus) may cause disease in west coast Chinook salmon.
The results of this study are significant because they show– for the first time – strong evidence that the same strain of PRV that causes HSMI (Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation) in Atlantic salmon is likely to cause disease in at least one species of Pacific salmon.
The study is part of our Strategic Salmon Health Initiative (SSHI) with DFO and Genome BC. Both the study and the release have been posted at www.psf.ca.
The SSHI is a key part of our commitment, first and foremost, to wild Pacific salmon. We look forward to working with government and industry to protect wild salmon!
If you have any questions or comments, please let us know."
