salmon infected with the orthomyxoviridae Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) [Accession number: PRJNA472087 and (21)] revealed that, similar to SAV3 infection, lia transcript levels were elevated as early as 3 days post confirmed ISAV outbreak in HK and liver but not in gill (sText 1B, sTable 4) Collectively, these observations indicate that lia in particular but also, lga and lha may be involved in the early antiviral immune response against SAV3, while lga may have a role in anti-bacterial immune responses against intracellular bacteria. This evidence concerns the gene CGA and infection.
