Largemouth Bass Virus (LMBV)
Fact Sheet
1. What is Largemouth Bass Virus?
It is one of more than 100 naturally occurring viruses that affect
fish but not warm-blooded animals. Origin is unknown, but it
is related to a virus found in frogs and other amphibians and
nearly identical to a virus isolated in fish imported to the
U.S. for the aquarium trade. Although the virus is carried by
other fish species, to date, it has produced disease only in
largemouth bass. Scientists do not know how the virus is transmitted
or how it is activated into disease. In addition, they know of
no cure or preventative, as is commonly the case with viruses.
