R58-17-20. Classification of Pathogens

TABLE

I. Emergency prohibited pathogens are pathogens that cause high

morbidity and high mortality, are exotic to Utah, and require

immediate action. These pathogens generally cannot be treated

and shall be controlled through avoidance, eradication, and

disinfection.

Pathogen Classification Species Inspection

Necrosis Virus hosts of aquatic

(IPNV)/Aquatic organisms

Birnaviruses

Viral Hemorrhagic Emergency Salmonids,

Septicemia Virus Prohibited pike, herring

(VHSV) turbot,

                                  pilchard, etc.

Oncorhynchus Emergency Salmonids

Masou Virus Prohibited

(OMV)

Spring Viremia Emergency All Required use

Of Carp Virus Prohibited cyprinids of Bluebook

(SVCV) esocids designated,

                                  Shrimp cell lines;

                                               inspection

                                               requirement shall

                                               be applied as

                                               needed to koi and

                                               ornamental fish

Epizootic Emergency Salmonids, Required only for

Hematopoietic Prohibited percids, fish from endemic

Necrosis Virus ictalurids, areas; use OIE

(EHNV) silurids, Manual for test

                                  Gambusia, protocol

II. Prohibited pathogens are pathogens that can cause high

morbidity or high mortality, may be endemic to Utah, and

require action in a reasonable time. Prohibited pathogens are

generally very difficult or impossible to treat and can only

be controlled through avoidance, eradication, and

disinfection, etc.

Myxobolus Prohibited Salmonids Focus on more

cerebralis susceptible

(Whirling Disease) species as per

                                               Bluebook

Renibacterium Prohibited Salmonids Required for

salmoninarum salmonid species

(Bacterial with more

Kidney Disease, frequently

BKD) reported clinical

                                               disease, such as

                                               Pacific salmon,

                                               brook trout, lake

                                               trout, Atlantic

                                               salmon, grayling,

                                               etc.

Ceratomyxa shasta Prohibited Salmonids Inspect fish only

                                               from reported

                                               endemic areas

Bothriocephalus Prohibited All Mosquito fish

acheilognathi cyprinids, (Gambusia affinis)

(Asian tapeworm) one Poecilid is the poecilid

                                               regulated under

                                               this section

Tetracapsuloides Prohibited Salmonids Inspect fish only

bryosalmonae from reported

(proliferative endemic areas

kidney disease,

PKD)

III. Reportable pathogens are pathogens that are generally

prevented using good management practices. Reportable pathogens

are not prohibited in Utah, but may be prohibited in some other

states or countries (see R58-17-20). Inspections are not

required for reportable pathogens, but all positive findings

must be reported to the Board.

Yersinia Reportable Any fresh No inspection
