Francisella philomiragia subsp. noatunensis infection in farmed cod (Gadus morhua): Diagnosis, characterisation, and environmental studies

A new systemic infection caused by F. noatunensis subsp. noatunesis has recently emerged and has rapidly developed into a major threat to the industry. The focus of the proposed project is, therefore, further characterisation of Francisella spp. isolated from fish, in particular that from cod, and precise taxonomic placement of relevant species.
