AB Lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) is the causative agent of a well-known fishviral disease that is characterized by hypertrophy of fibroblastic cells in the connectivetissue. This viral disease affects more than 125 wild and cultured species ofteleost fish from marine and freshwater environments and has a cosmopolitangeographical distribution. In aquaculture systems, the prevalence of LCDV infectionis very high, likely reflecting the horizontal transmission of this virus. Theincidence rate of the disease may reach 70%, causing significant economic lossesfor the aquaculture industry. This review provides information on the taxonomy,viral properties, epizootiology and pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and controlmeasures of LCDV infection in fish.
