A novel lymphocystivirus causing typical signs of lymphocystis virus disease in whitemouth croaker ( Micropogonias furnieri ) on the coast of Uruguay was detected and described recently. Based on genetic analysis of some partially sequenced core genes, the virus seemed to differ from previously described members of the genus Lymphocystivirus . In this study, using next-generation sequencing, the whole genome of this virus was...

Information about motile aeromonads from aquaculture systems of the Neotropical region is scarce. The aim of this study was to characterize motile Aeromonas isolated from ornamental and consumable fishes cultured in Uruguay. Biochemical and molecular methods were used for species identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility and the presence of virulence genes were evaluated. Genetic diversity was analysed by rep‐ PCR , and vir...
