Figure 3From: Target organs for lymphocystis disease virus replication in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) LCDV detection in tissues from gilthead seabream demonstrated by in situ hybridization (ISH). The signal is observed microscopically as dark blue staining. A Lymphocyst in caudal fin showing viral mRNA in its cytoplasm. B ISH-positive hepatocytes in the liver of diseased fish. C, D Hybridization signal in the splenic pulp and in kidney interstitial cells, respectively, form diseased fish. E Viral transcripts in brain section from diseased fish. F ISH-negative brain section from recovered fish. Scale bars: (A, B, D) 50 µm; (C, F) 100 µm; (E) 20 µm.Back to article page
