Abstract

Four putative aquabirnaviruses, based on morphology, nucleic acid type and partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (VP1) sequence, isolated from three tropical freshwater fish species were not neutralised by antisera against type members of the Aquabirnavirus genus serogroups A, B or C. Antisera produced against two of the isolates neutralised the homologous and heterologous isolates, but not any type member of Aquabirnavirus serogroups A, B or C. The serological comparisons suggest that the four isolates should be regarded as members of a fourth Aquabirnavirus serogroup, D.
