N2 - A database has been created, http://www.Fish
Pathogens.eu, with the aim of providing a single
repository for collating important information on
significant pathogens of aquaculture, relevant to
their control and management. This database will
be developed, maintained and managed as part of
the European Community Reference Laboratory for
Fish Diseases function. This concept has been
initially developed for viral haemorrhagic septicaemia
virus and will be extended in future to include
information on other significant aquaculture
pathogens. Information included for each isolate
comprises sequence, geographical origin, host origin
and useful key literature. Various search mechanisms
make it easy to find specific groups of isolates.
Search results can be presented in several different
ways including table-based, map-based and graphbased
outputs. When retrieving sequences, the user
is given freedom to obtain data from any selected
part of the genome of interest. The output of the
sequence search can be readily retrieved as a FASTA
file ready to be imported into a sequence alignment
tool of choice, facilitating further molecular
epidemiological study.
