Proliferative gill inflammation (PGI) causes significant losses in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. in Norway, especially during the first months following seawater transfer. The aetiology is apparently multifactorial, including infection with chlamydia-like bacteria and Atlantic salmon paramyxovirus (ASPV). In the present study, gills from diseased fish from 3 farms on the western coast of Norway were sampled. The pathological changes were briefly described and the aetiological significance of ASPV studied by immunofluorescent staining of cryosections and by immunohistochemistry on sections of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue. The pathological changes were macroscopically characterized by palour of the gills, and histologically by inflammation, circulatory disturbances, cell death and epithelial cell proliferation. ASPV was demonstrated in fish from all farms studied, as immunostaining consistent with ASPV was obtained in lamellar epithelial and endothelial cells of pathologically altered tissues. It is concluded that ASPV is at least a contributing cause of PGI. As far as we know, this is the first demonstration of fish disease related to infection with a paramyxovirus.

Atlantic salmon paramyxovirus (ASPV) infection contributes to proliferative gill inflammation (PGI) in seawater-reared Salmo salar
