Genomic Replikin Counts of Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV) in Canada Exceed the Counts in Lethal Outbreaks in Norway, Chile, and Scotland. Real-Time Tracking of the Evolution of the ISAV Genome and the Resultant Replikins Solid Phase ISAV Vaccine Make ISAV Pandemic Prevention Possible.

Abstract

In Canada, the highest ISAV Replikin Count occurred in 1999, which is likely relevant to the marked loss of salmon in Canadian waters in 2010 (10,19). The size of the Standard Deviation of the Mean indicates the number of viruses in a given population with Replikin Counts higher than the Mean, and thus the proportion of the viruses that year engaged in rapid replication (1). In Influenza A, a member of the orthomyxovirus family as is ISAV, rapid replication invariably accompanies, or precedes outbreaks outbreaks'by'as'much'as two'years'(1S8).
