All three IPNV strains could be distinguished by the relative mobilities of either the virion polypeptides or the double-stranded RNA genome segments. The eel virus had a similar polypeptide profile to strain AB IPNV but differences between the two viruses in the migration of genome segments indicated each was unique. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-64-6-1421
