Abstract
A molecular phylogenetic analysis of 25 isolates of fish nodaviruses, the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis of marine fish, was per formed based on the nucleotide sequences (427 bases) of the coat prote in gene. These fish nodaviruses were classified into four clusters: ti ger puffer nervous necrosis virus, striped jack nervous necrosis virus , berfin flounder nervous necrosis virus, and red-spotted grouper nerv ous necrosis virus.
