Structural Characterization of Open Reading Frame-Encoded Functional Genes from Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV).

In recent years, large-scale mortalities are observed in tilapia due to infection with a novel orthomyxo-like virus named, tilapia lake virus (TiLV) which is marked to be a severe threat to universal tilapia industry. Currently, there are knowledge gaps relating to the antiviral peptide as well as there are no affordable vaccines or drugs available against TiLV yet. To understand the spreading of infection of TiLV in different organs of Oreochromis niloticus, RT-PCR analysis has been carried out.
