''' | + | Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia is an '''economically important haematological disease of fish''', primarily salmonids, caused by a '''bullet shaped, enveloped RNA [[Rhabdoviridae|rhabdovirus]].''' The virus is a member of the genus Novirhabdovirus and they share a common and distinctive feature – the presence of an additional non-virion protein encoding gene. |

Based on phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequences the virus has been shown to have four genotypes and they are related to geographical distribution rather than host specficity. |
